Abstract
In order to improve the quality of the work of a robot that applies wax, a user enters the ambient environment data (temperature, wax concentration, and the like) of the robot via a controller prior to initiation of the work by the robot. According to the input data, the maximum time (drying time) T before another coat of wax is to be applied without degradation in quality is identified. A travel path is generated according to the time T. The travel is actually carried out according to the calculated path.
