Abstract: A carrier includes a body, a sensor, and an output unit. The body has the ability to travel autonomously and includes a holding mechanism for holding a burden. The sensor is provided for the body and detects a situation surrounding the body. The output unit outputs detected information, collected by the sensor, about the situation to a management device that manages operation of another carrier.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a mover including an object detecting unit and either a masking processing unit or a transmission restricting unit as an additional processing unit. The object detecting unit detects an object based on a reception signal output from a receiver unit by having a transmitter unit transmit a scanning wave and by having the receiver unit receive a reflected wave, which is a component, reflected from the object, of the scanning wave. The masking processing unit performs masking processing of masking, in accordance with a timing at which, and/or a direction of incidence in which, a disturbance wave, not depending on the scanning wave, is incident on the receiver unit, a portion of the reception signal output from the receiver unit. The transmission restricting unit restricts a transmission range in which the transmitter unit transmits the scanning wave.

Abstract: An optical inspection device includes: an LED; a chart; a collimator; and a mirror. The LED irradiates the chart with light to deliver light rays to the collimator as on-axis light rays. This allows a pattern on the chart to be projected onto a center of an image sensor through the collimator and an optical system under inspection. The mirror reflects light rays delivered to the mirror through the collimator among the on-axis light rays. This allows the pattern on the chart to be projected onto a periphery of the image sensor through the optical system under inspection.
