CONTROL SYSTEM, OPERATION DEVICE, CONTROL METHOD, AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18410503 titled 'CONTROL SYSTEM, OPERATION DEVICE, CONTROL METHOD, AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM
The control system described in the patent application includes an operation device and a control unit. The operation device has a movement operation unit for moving a mobile robot and a switching operation unit for changing between autonomous moving mode and user operation mode. The control unit determines whether to accept the moving operation based on the mode the robot is in and the switching signal.
- Movement operation unit for moving a mobile robot
- Switching operation unit for changing between autonomous moving mode and user operation mode
- Control unit that decides whether to accept moving operation based on the robot's mode and switching signal
Potential Applications: - Automated warehouse management - Industrial automation - Home cleaning robots
Problems Solved: - Efficient control of mobile robots in different operation modes - Seamless switching between autonomous and user operation modes

Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhanced Control System for Mobile Robots" This technology can be utilized in various industries such as logistics, manufacturing, and home automation. It can streamline operations, increase productivity, and improve overall efficiency.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the control unit determine whether to accept the moving operation? The control unit bases its decision on the robot's mode and the switching signal. 2. What are the potential benefits of using this control system in industrial settings? This control system can improve efficiency, productivity, and overall operations in industries such as manufacturing and logistics.
Original Abstract Submitted
A control system according to the present disclosure includes an operation device and a control unit. The operation device includes a movement operation unit configured to accept a moving operation for moving a mobile robot and a switching operation unit configured to accept an operation for switching the modes between the autonomous moving mode and the user operation mode. The control unit switches whether or not to accept the moving operation by the movement operation unit based on information indicating which one of the autonomous moving mode and the user operation mode the mobile robot is in and a change in a switching signal in response to the switching operation.
