AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Existing conveying methods lack a seamless transition from remote control movement to conveyor device movement, leading to inefficiencies and increased power consumption.
Method used
A conveying method switching device that includes a position estimating unit, a command generating unit, and a movement control determining unit, which allows for smooth switching between remote control movement and conveyor device movement by determining the appropriate control commands based on the estimated position of the moving object.
Benefits of technology
The solution enables efficient switching between conveying methods, reducing power consumption and processing burdens, while preventing positional deviations during conveyor device operation.

Abstract
To provide a technique for smoothly switching from a transport method that utilizes the movement of a moving body by movement control to a transport method of a moving body that uses a transport device.SOLUTION: A transport method switching device includes: a position estimation unit that estimates a position of a moving body by using moving body information detected by a moving body detector that detects at least one of moving body information including an image of the moving body that can move by unmanned driving and three-dimensional point cloud data of the moving body; a command generation unit that generates and outputs a control command for automatically moving the moving body by movement control by using the estimated position of the moving body; and a movement control determination unit that determines whether or not to stop movement control by using a transport start position of the moving body in a transport device and a moving body position that is a position of the moving body in a transport section, including the estimated position. The command generation unit generates and outputs a control command to stop the movement control when the movement control determination unit determines that the movement control should be stopped.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
