Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a distance information acquisition unit configured to acquire distance information obtained by measurement by a sensor, an area information acquisition unit configured to acquire information relating to a virtual three-dimensional protection area set within a measurable region of the sensor, a blind spot calculation unit configured to calculate a three-dimensional blind spot region representing a blind spot of the sensor, on the basis of the distance information, and a display unit configured to display the protection area and the blind spot region in a virtual three-dimensional space.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes: an acquirer configured to acquire distance information measured and output in a state where a sensor is installed so that at least a part of a robot enters a measurable area of the sensor; a recognizer configured to recognize a 3-dimensional operation range of the robot from the distance information measured by the sensor at a plurality of timings while moving the robot; a determiner configured to determine whether there is a change in the 3-dimensional operation range of the robot based on the distance information measured by the sensor during an actual motion of the robot; and a warner configured to give a warning indicating occurrence of a deviation of the sensor when the determiner determines that there is a change in the 3-dimensional operation range of the robot.

Abstract: A control system (1) includes: a control device (100) that controls a robot (200); a three-dimensional sensor (300) that acquires positional information of a worker and the robot (200), which are included in a viewing-field area in a three-dimensional space; and a support device (400) that provides a user interface (411) for virtually setting a cooperation region in which the worker and the robot (200) are allowed to work. The control device (100) controls stopping or the speed of the robot (200) on the basis of whether or not the position of the worker or the robot (200) calculated on the basis of the positional information is included in the cooperation region, which is set by using the user interface (411), as well as the relative positional relationship between the worker and the robot (200) calculated on the basis of the positional information.

Abstract: In a radar apparatus of the present invention, a ghost deciding unit decides whether or not a first condition that a first object candidate and a second object candidate are in the same direction with respect to the transmission/reception unit is satisfied, and then decides whether or not a second condition that, of the first and second object candidates, a reflection power from the first object candidate located farther away from the transmission/reception unit is smaller than a reflection power from the second object candidate located closer to the transmission/reception unit is satisfied. The ghost deciding unit decides that only when the first condition and the second condition are satisfied, the first object candidate is a ghost.

Abstract: The technique allows avoiding collision with an object that is difficult to detect with a radar sensor. A collision avoidance apparatus is an apparatus for an autonomous vehicle including at least one radar sensor for transmitting a radar wave and receiving a reflected wave from an object. The apparatus includes a processor that obtains, from a signal received by the at least one radar sensor, information about a position of the object and information about a reflected power level of the reflected wave, a generator that generates, in response to the reflected power level being higher than or equal to a predetermined value, information about a travel-restricted area being an area adjacent to the object and in which the autonomous vehicle is restricted from traveling, and an output unit that outputs the information about the travel-restricted area.

Abstract: A technique shortens the time taken to adjust a protection area. An area setting device includes a setting unit that sets a protection area in at least a part of a surrounding environment of a robot to detect an entry of an object, an obtainer that obtains surrounding information about the robot, and a storage prestoring a set value for the protection area and the surrounding information associated with each other. The setting unit sets the protection area based on the set value read from the storage.

Abstract: A control device for a robot that works in cooperation with a worker includes a radar transmission-reception section that transmits a radar wave to a co-working area in which the worker and the robot work together in cooperation and receives a reflected wave resulting from the radar wave being reflected off an object in the co-working area, a radar data processor that calculates, based on the reflected wave received by the radar transmission-reception section, a reflected power level of the object in the co-working area, and a controller that performs interference reduction to reduce interference between the robot and the worker in response to a presence of an object having a reflected power level calculated by the radar data processor higher than or equal to a predetermined threshold in the co-working area. The technique reduces accidental interference between a robot and a worker working in cooperation with each other.
