    Abstract: A control device generates a state sequence including a plurality of states from a state at a movement source to a state at a movement destination of a physical object. The control device determines the occurrence of an error in an operation of a robot based on a result of comparing the state of the generated state sequence with a state of the physical object during the operation of the robot operating according to the state sequence. The control device changes the state sequence so that a recovery operation for recovering from the error is performed in a case where it is determined that the error has occurred.

    Abstract: Information processing apparatus includes: an observation unit that observes situations and speeds of agents; a task weight estimation unit that estimates second task weights with reference to a first model based on the observed positions, the observed speeds, and first task weights indicating set execution probabilities of tasks by the agents, the second task weights indicating execution probabilities of the tasks by the agents under the observed statuses; and a task weight update unit that updates the first task weights by inputting the observed positions, the observed speeds, and the second task weights to a second model. When one of a position and a speed has been input together with a weight coefficient, the first model outputs the other of the position and the speed. The second model increases a value of a first weight as a cost calculated using a position, a speed, and a second task weight decreases.

    Abstract: A control device includes a search information calculation unit, an area information storage unit, an area information update unit, and a location control unit. The search information calculation unit acquires information relating to a plurality of unmanned vehicles that move within a target area in accordance with a set operation, and calculates search information relating to the unmanned vehicles using the acquired information relating to the unmanned vehicles. The area information storage unit stores area information including indicators for searching the target area. The area information update unit updates the area information on the basis of said search information and the time that has elapsed since the last search conducted by the unmanned vehicles. The location control unit which, on the basis of the area information, calculates locations to which the unmanned vehicles should move, and outputs control signals for causing the unmanned vehicles to move to the calculated locations.

    Abstract: A control device 1X mainly includes a state setting means 16X and an operation planning means 17X. The state setting means 16X sets a predicted start state that is a predicted state of a workspace at a time when a robot starts a work of sorting items and a target state which represents a state where the items are placed in sorting containers by the work, based on information regarding the items and the sorting containers. The operation planning means 17X determines an operation plan of the robot based on the predicted start state and the target state.
