CONTROLLER AND CONTROL METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18588798 titled 'CONTROLLER AND CONTROL METHOD
The abstract of the patent application describes a controller that determines a work assistance operation to be performed by a target moving object, which can be operated by unmanned driving. The controller instructs the target moving object to perform the determined work assistance operation.
- The controller determines a work assistance operation for a target moving object.
- The work assistance operation is designed to assist work on a moving object.
- The target moving object can be operated by unmanned driving.
- The controller instructs the target moving object to perform the determined work assistance operation.
Potential Applications: - Industrial automation - Logistics and warehouse operations - Agriculture for autonomous farming tasks
Problems Solved: - Streamlining work processes by automating tasks - Increasing efficiency and productivity in various industries - Reducing the need for human intervention in certain operations
