Abstract
To provide an autonomous light-receiving mobile device that appropriately estimates the sunlit areas in a room and autonomously moves in daily used indoor spaces equipped with furniture like tables and chairs.SOLUTION: An autonomous light-receiving mobile device includes movement means 22 for autonomously moving within the installed space, and a sunrise / sunset time and orientation acquisition unit 30 for acquiring the time of sunrise and sunset and the orientation of the sun within the space. Controlling the movement means 22 determines a window in the orientation for movement based on the orientation of the sun at the current time, and the device autonomously moves toward the determined orientation.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
