Abstract
To provide a traveling map creation device which can easily set a no-entry area in a map for traveling of autonomous travel type robots.SOLUTION: A traveling map creation device 100 comprises: an acquisition unit 121 for acquiring a positional relation from a position sensor 110 that measures the positional relation of an object detected around the self with respect to the self; a floor map creation unit 123 for creating a floor map on the basis of the positional relation; a self-position calculation unit 122 for calculating the self-position of the position sensor 110 on the floor map; a marker identification unit 124 for identifying a marker existing around the position sensor 110; a marker position calculation unit 125 for calculating the relative position of the marker with respect to the position sensor 110; a no-entry information generation unit 126 for setting a boundary between a travelable area and a no-entry area on the basis of the floor map, the self-position, and the relative position of the marker, and generating no-entry information that includes boundary information; and a traveling map creation unit 127 for creating a map for traveling in which the no-entry area is set on the basis of the no-entry information.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2
