    摘要: An electronic unit includes a USB host and a USB device. After the USB host and the USB device are connected to each other by a USB cable, a signal requesting for a connection permission is transmitted from the USB device to the USB host, and the USB host determines whether to permit a connection based on the signal. The electronic unit further includes a power supply configured to supply power to the USB device, and an additional GND pattern different from a GND pattern of the USB cable is electrically connected to a GND of the USB port of at least one of the USB host and the USB device. An area of the additional GND pattern is 2000 mm2 or more.

    摘要: An autonomous mobile object includes: a moving mechanism; a power-receiving terminal that is supplied with power from a power-supply terminal; an imaging unit configured to image the power-supply terminal at a position separated from the power-supply terminal by more than a distance at which the power-receiving terminal is capable of being supplied with power from the power-supply terminal; a determination unit configured to determine whether to remove contamination of the power-supply terminal based on an analysis result obtained by analyzing the image captured by the imaging unit and information on misalignment between the power-supply terminal and the power-receiving terminal, the misalignment being predicted when the autonomous mobile object moves to a position at which the power-receiving terminal is capable of being supplied with power from the power-supply terminal; and a removal unit configured to remove the contamination when the determination unit determines to remove the contamination.
