CONTROL SYSTEM, OPERATION DEVICE, CONTROL METHOD, AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240238056 titled 'CONTROL SYSTEM, OPERATION DEVICE, CONTROL METHOD, AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM

The patent application describes a control system for a mobile robot that includes an operation device and a control unit. The operation device has a movement operation unit for controlling the robot's movement and a switching operation unit for switching between autonomous and user operation modes. The control unit determines whether to accept the movement operation based on the current mode of the robot and the switching signal.

  • The control system includes an operation device and a control unit.
  • The operation device has a movement operation unit and a switching operation unit.
  • The movement operation unit controls the robot's movement.
  • The switching operation unit switches between autonomous and user operation modes.
  • The control unit decides whether to accept the movement operation based on the robot's mode and the switching signal.

Potential Applications: - Automated warehouses - Industrial manufacturing processes - Home cleaning robots

Problems Solved: - Efficient control of mobile robots in different operation modes - Seamless switching between autonomous and user operation

Benefits: - Improved efficiency in robot control - Enhanced user experience with easy mode switching

Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhanced Control System for Mobile Robots" This technology can be applied in industries such as logistics, manufacturing, and home automation. It can streamline operations, increase productivity, and improve user interaction with robots.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the control unit determine the robot's current mode? The control unit uses information about the mode and the switching signal to make decisions. 2. What are the key advantages of having autonomous and user operation modes? Autonomous mode allows for independent operation, while user operation mode enables manual control when needed.


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.
