CONTROL SYSTEM, CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM OF PLURALITY OF AUTONOMOUS MOBILE OBJECTS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18166653 titled 'CONTROL SYSTEM, CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM OF PLURALITY OF AUTONOMOUS MOBILE OBJECTS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a control system for managing a group of autonomous mobile objects.

  • The system includes a dividing element, which is placed on the route and is used to separate the group of mobile objects.
  • The dividing element identifies the preceding and subsequent mobile objects in the group.
  • The system also includes a movement control unit, which is responsible for controlling the movement of the mobile objects.
  • The movement control unit aims to reduce the waiting time for the mobile objects that are stopped by the dividing element.
  • The system improves the efficiency of the group's movement by minimizing the time spent waiting for other mobile objects to pass.


Original Abstract Submitted

A control system for a plurality of autonomous mobile objects according to the present disclosure includes a dividing element identifying unit and a movement control unit. A dividing element is arranged on the route. The dividing element decouples the group by passing at least one preceding autonomous mobile object of the group and stopping at least one subsequent autonomous mobile object when the plurality of autonomous mobile objects follow the departure point from the route to the destination point in the group. The dividing element identifying unit specifies a dividing element. The movement control unit controls the movement of the plurality of autonomous mobile objects so as to reduce the waiting time for stopping at least one autonomous mobile object followed by the dividing element in accordance with the dividing element specified by the dividing element identifying unit.
