Abstract
The invention notifies a robot controller of the need to re-create map data. A robot control system () includes a robot () that moves along a path while detecting obstacles, and a robot control terminal () that records map data () and specifies the path of said robot (), whereby said robot () uses lasers to make measurements while in motion and sends the results as sensor data () to said robot control terminal (), which uses said sensor data to generate simulated sensor data () along the future path of said robot, and if the proportion of sections for which simulated sensor data and said map data () do not coincide exceeds a threshold value, the user is notified of a reconstruction of said map data ().
