CONTROL SYSTEM, CONTROL METHOD, AND PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17983437 titled 'CONTROL SYSTEM, CONTROL METHOD, AND PROGRAM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a control system, method, and program for an autonomous mobile robot with a placement part. The system includes a user recognition unit, a feature information acquisition unit, and an operation control unit. The user recognition unit identifies the user of the placement part, while the feature information acquisition unit collects information about the user. The operation control unit then adjusts the height of the placement part based on the user's features.

  • The control system is designed for an autonomous mobile robot with a placement part.
  • It includes a user recognition unit to identify the user of the placement part.
  • A feature information acquisition unit collects information about the recognized user.
  • An operation control unit adjusts the height of the placement part based on the user's features.

Potential Applications

  • This technology can be applied in various industries where autonomous mobile robots are used, such as manufacturing, logistics, and healthcare.
  • It can be used in warehouses to assist workers in lifting and moving heavy loads.
  • In hospitals, it can help healthcare professionals transport medical equipment and supplies.

Problems Solved

  • This technology solves the problem of difficulty in operating an autonomous mobile robot with a placement part.
  • It eliminates the need for manual adjustment of the placement part's height, reducing the physical strain on the user.
  • By recognizing the user and adjusting the height accordingly, it ensures optimal ergonomics and user comfort.

Benefits

  • The control system lowers the difficulty of the user's work by automating the adjustment of the placement part's height.
  • It improves user experience and reduces the risk of injuries caused by improper lifting or strain.
  • The system increases productivity by enabling users to focus on their tasks rather than manual adjustments.


Original Abstract Submitted

A control system, a control method, and a program capable of lowering difficulty of a user's work on an autonomous mobile robot having a placement part are provided. A control system for controlling an autonomous mobile robot including a placement part on which a load is placed includes a user recognition unit configured to recognize a user of the placement part, a feature information acquisition unit configured to acquire feature information of the recognized user, and an operation control unit configured to control a height of the placement part based on the feature information.
