ROUTE GENERATION DEVICE FOR AUTONOMOUS MOBILE BODY - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17936865 titled 'ROUTE GENERATION DEVICE FOR AUTONOMOUS MOBILE BODY
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a route generation device for an autonomous mobile body that generates a route based on a cost map of a way. The cost map includes grid cells into which it is divided, with the center of the road assigned a lower cost value than the edge zone. The device updates the cost map based on detection results from an outside recognition device.
- The route generation device is configured to generate a route for an autonomous mobile body based on a cost map of a way.
- The cost map is divided into grid cells, with the center of the road having a lower cost value than the edge zone.
- The device updates the cost map based on detection results from an outside recognition device.
Potential Applications
This technology can be applied in:
- Autonomous vehicles for efficient route planning.
- Delivery robots for optimized navigation in urban environments.
Problems Solved
This technology solves:
- Inefficient route planning for autonomous mobile bodies.
- Lack of real-time updates in route generation systems.
Benefits

Original Abstract Submitted
A route generation device for an autonomous mobile body is configured to generate a route for the autonomous mobile body based on a cost map of a way serving as the route for the autonomous mobile body , the cost map including a plurality of grid cells M to M into which the cost map is divided. In the cost map, a center of a road RD is assigned with a lower value of cost than an edge zone of the road RD. The route generation device includes a controller that is configured to update the cost map based on a result of detection by an outside recognition device, and generate a route based on the updated cost map.
