Abstract: In a robot control system, the operation of a mobile robot that moves autonomously inside a facility is controlled based at least on an image captured by a photographing device that photographs a blind area located at a blind angle to the mobile robot. When entry of the mobile robot into a predetermined area corresponding to the blind area is detected, the amount of information obtainable from an image captured by the photographing device is increased.

Abstract: A robot management system executes, for a plurality of transport robots, an estimation process for estimating load applied to the transport robots based on a current value during traveling and a traveling distance or a traveling time of the transport robots. The robot management system determines a transport robot to be used from among the transport robots based on an estimation result in the estimation process.

Abstract: An autonomous mobile system according to the present embodiment is an autonomous mobile system that autonomously moves in a facility provided with a corner between aisles. When the autonomous mobile system turns at the corner, the autonomous mobile system calculates a magnitude of a corner radius of turning in a traveling path based on an obstacle captured in image data of a camera that captures an image of an exit of the corner.

Abstract: An autonomous mobile system according to an embodiment is an autonomous mobile system that autonomously moves in a facility provided with an area set as a clean area and an area set as an unclean area. The autonomous mobile system searches for a route along which the autonomous mobile system moves based on a rule of entry to the clean area and the unclean area. In the rule, when the autonomous mobile system is associated with a cleanliness flag, the autonomous mobile system is allowed to enter the clean area and prohibited from entering the unclean area, and when the autonomous mobile system is associated with an uncleanliness flag, the autonomous mobile system is allowed to enter the unclean area and prohibited from entering the clean area.
