Abstract: A controller according to the present disclosure includes a whole-slip detecting unit (210) that detects, based on pressure information sent from a plurality of regions having different slipping characteristics when an object in contact with the plurality of regions is slipping, a state of a whole slip in which the object is slipping on each of the plurality of regions. An occurrence timing of the whole slip is different for each of the plurality of regions, and thus a state of a partial slip in which a part of the object is slipping is able to be detected, so that it is possible to detect a slip of the object with high accuracy.

Abstract: There is provided a moving apparatus which includes a control unit that executes traveling control of the moving apparatus, an upper unit that has an article storage unit, and a lower unit that houses the control unit and a drive unit. The upper unit has an upper sensor that detects an obstacle in surroundings at a position of at least one of an upper surface or a lower surface position, and the lower unit has a lower sensor that detects an obstacle in a proximity area of a traveling surface of the moving apparatus. The control unit inputs sensor detection information, detects an obstacle in surroundings of the moving apparatus, executes traveling control to avoid contact with the obstacle, and performs control to display a traveling route recognition display line that indicates a traveling route of the moving apparatus.

Abstract: A moving apparatus that performs control to stop the moving apparatus at a position close to a user and to rotate the moving apparatus at a stop position, thereby making it easy to take out a product carried on the apparatus. The moving apparatus includes a control unit that executes traveling control of the moving apparatus, an upper unit that has an article storage unit, and a lower unit that houses a drive unit, in which the control unit inputs detection information of a sensor, and executes control to stop the moving apparatus at a position close to a user and rotate the moving apparatus at a stop position on the basis of input sensor detection information. The control unit performs display control of a traveling route recognition display line indicating a traveling route of the moving apparatus.

Abstract: A slip detecting device according to the present disclosure includes a plurality of contact parts having different slipping characteristics when an object (600) in contact with the plurality of regions is slipping; and a sensor that detects a pressure distribution of each of the plurality of contact parts. By employing the plurality of contact parts having different slipping characteristics when the object (600) in contact with the plurality of regions, a timing at which a whole slip occurs is different between the plurality of contact parts, and thus a state of a partial slip in which a part of the object (600) is slipping is able to be detected, so that it is possible to detect a slip of the object (600) with high accuracy.
