Abstract: A task execution system, a radio connection method, and a program capable of switching a base station which is a connection destination at an appropriate timing are provided. In a task execution system including an autonomous mobile robot configured to sequentially execute a plurality of tasks including movement, the autonomous mobile robot includes a radio communication unit that communicates with a base station, and a connection control unit that searches for the base station with execution of a predetermined task as a trigger and switches base station which is a connection destination of communication by the radio communication unit.

Abstract: A control system according to the present disclosure executes system control that controls a system including a mobile robot that autonomously moves. The control system executes a group classification process of recognizing a feature of a person present around the mobile robot and classifying, based on the feature, the person into a preset first group or second group. The control system above selects a first operation mode when the person belonging to the first group is present around the mobile robot and selects a second operation mode that is different from the first operation mode when the person belonging to the first group is not present around the mobile robot. The control system above controls, when the second operation mode is selected, the group classification process so as to execute a process with a smaller processing load than a processing load when the first operation mode is selected.

Abstract: The control system is a control system that controls a connection between an autonomous mobile robot and a base station, the control system including: a radio communication unit that communicates with the base station; and a connection control unit that performs control, in a connection of communication performed by the radio communication unit, when a radio wave shielding object which the autonomous mobile robot is able to pass through is on a path along which the autonomous mobile robot is to move, so that the autonomous mobile robot is prompted to connect to a predetermined base station of which a received radio wave intensity at a position on the path in front of the shielding object is affected by the shielding object.

Abstract: A control system according to the present embodiment includes: a feature extraction unit that extracts a feature of a person in a captured image captured by a camera; a first determination unit that determines, based on a feature extraction result, whether the person included in the captured image is a device user who uses an assistive device for assisting movement; a second determination unit that determines, based on the feature extraction result, whether an assistant who assists movement of the device user is present; and a control unit that switches between a first mode and a second mode that executes a process with a lower load than a processing load in the first mode depending on whether the assistant is present.
