Abstract:
A remotely controlled robot comprises a unit storing the layout plan of a building, a unit receiving a position remotely designated in the layout plan from a remote location and a unit controlling the travel of the robot to the designated position. A self-position identification method is implemented by a robot with a camera whose shooting direction can be changed. The robot takes in advance a panoramic picture of a room where the robot may travel, generates a reference picture by extracting a plurality of block pictures from the panoramic picture and identifies a room where the robot is located, by applying correlation and DP matching, using both a picture taken in the room where the robot is located and the reference picture.
Abstract:
A robot control part connected to a robot moving according to control for controlling the motion of the robot; and a media reproduction part to keep scenarios which describes changes in images to the passage of time, and are corresponding to events, present images according to the passage of time following the above scenario, and notify the passage of time at each frame to the robot control part; characterized in that the above robot control part keeps motion procedures denoting changes, which are corresponding to the frame, in the postures of the above robot to the passage of time; receives notifications of the passage of time from the above media reproduction part; and moves the above robot according to the above motion procedures, in the corresponding frame.
Abstract:
A robot includes: a moving mechanism; a position recognition section that recognizes a current position of the robot within a guide zone having at least one guide location; and a movement control section that moves the robot to each of guide locations in the guide zone by using the moving mechanism, while causing the position recognition section to recognize the current position. The robot further includes a transmission section that transmits, every time the robot moves to each of the guide locations, contents information corresponding to the guide location to a mobile receive terminal held by a person to be guided near the robot.
