Embodiment Construction
[0021] As an example of an embodiment of the present invention, figure 1 A conceptual diagram showing a general configuration of a control system 100 in a telepresence robot TR which is a remote control robot operated by an operator P using an operation unit 10 via a network 9 .
[0022] The telepresence robot TR includes: a camera 20, which is a moving image acquisition unit; a movement unit 21, which is configured with wheels or a belt so as to be able to move; a reception unit 22, which receives an operation instruction from the operation unit 10; and a control unit 30 , for controlling various components of the remote robot TR according to the operation instructions received by the receiving unit 22 .
[0023] The operation unit 10 includes: a moving image display unit 11 for displaying images or videos viewed by the operator P to perform operations; and a motion instruction unit 12 including a plurality of buttons for indicating such as figure 2 direction of motion show...

A robot is configured to move in accordance with an operation instruction made by an operator via a network. The robot includes a moving image acquisition unit, a receiving unit, a movement destination predicting unit, and an autonomous control unit. The moving image acquisition unit is configured to capture, as a moving image, an environment around the robot. The receiving unit is configured to receive the operation instruction. The movement destination predicting unit is configured to predict a movement destination of the robot based on the operation instruction received by the receiving unit. The autonomous control unit is configured to autonomously correct movement to the movement destination in accordance with the operation instruction, based on information on the environment obtained from a moving image at an instant when the operation instruction is received.
Description
technical field [0001] The present invention relates to robots and control systems. Background technique [0002] Robots that operate remotely via a network, known as telepresence robots, are known in the art. In such robots, the occurrence of delays associated with the sending and receiving of data is unavoidable due to the involvement of the network. When the operator is performing remote control, due to the delay, the real-time captured moving image captured by the robot may be different from the moving image observed by the operator as a prompt to give the movement command, which becomes the cause of misoperation. [0003] Robots that operate autonomously based on autonomous decisions made by the robot are also known in the art. [0004] However, such an autonomous robot does not have much freedom to accept operations made by the operator, thereby detracting from the characteristics of the telepresence robot, that is, "to perform actions in response to the operator ope...
