Moving Body Route Control With Spot Turning for Efficient Navigation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional robots often generate inefficient routes when navigating to a destination, particularly due to inadequate consideration of orientation changes.
Innovation Solution
A control device for a moving body that includes a processor capable of recognizing the surrounding situation through images, generating routes, determining if they are within a predetermined region, and regenerating routes if they deviate, allowing the moving body to adjust its orientation and path accordingly.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If conventional robots generate routes without considering orientation changes, then the route generation process is simple, but the generated routes become inefficient
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by checking whether the generated route is within the predetermined region before finalizing the route. This preliminary check allows the system to detect inefficient routes early and trigger regeneration with orientation considerations, thus improving overall route efficiency without requiring complex orientation calculations in every step of the route generation process.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback by determining whether the generated route is within the predetermined region and using this information to decide whether to regenerate the route. When the route deviates from the predetermined region, the system feeds this information back into the route generation process, triggering a new route calculation that considers orientation changes, thereby continuously improving route efficiency.
2Productivity
If the robot frequently regenerates routes by turning on the spot, then route efficiency improves, but the control complexity and time consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies partial action by performing spot turning and route regeneration only when necessary - specifically when the generated route deviates from the predetermined region. This selective approach avoids unnecessary spot turning operations, reducing the time loss associated with frequent route regeneration while still achieving efficient navigation when needed.

AI summary
A control device for a moving body includes a storage medium configured to store computer-readable instructions, and a processor connected to the storage medium, wherein the processor executes the computer-readable instructions to recognize a surrounding situation of a moving body based at least on an image of the surrounding situation of the moving body, to generate a route from the moving body to a destination based on the recognized surrounding situation and the set destination, to determine whether or not the generated route is within a predetermined region defined by a current position of the moving body and the destination, to control the moving body so that the moving body moves along the generated route to the destination, and to turn the moving body on a spot and to regenerate a route from the moving body that has turned on the spot to the destination when it is determined that the route deviates from the predetermined region.
