Abstract
An operation management system includes: a plurality of robots; and an operation management unit server configured to manage an operation route in a predetermined region. Each robot has a sensor that recognizes a surrounding environment. When the sensor of a first robot recognizes a predetermined surrounding environment, the server refers to a position of the surrounding environment and sets an operation route of a second robot.
Claims5
An operation management system for autonomous mobile robots, comprising:
- a plurality of autonomous mobile robots, each of the plurality of autonomous mobile robots is a guidance robot that guides a user to a destination of the user;
- and
- an operation management server configured to manage an operation route for the autonomous mobile robots in a predetermined region, wherein
- each autonomous mobile robot has a sensor that recognizes a surrounding environment of the autonomous mobile robot,
- when the sensor of a first autonomous mobile robot of the plurality of autonomous mobile robots recognizes a predetermined surrounding environment, the operation management server refers to a position of the surrounding environment and sets an operation route of a second autonomous mobile robot of the plurality of autonomous mobile robots, and
- the operation management server is configured to set, in a case a surrounding environment which does not disturb movement of the user but disturbs movement of the second autonomous mobile robot guiding the user is recognized, an operation route of a third autonomous mobile robot of the plurality of autonomous mobile robots so as to cause the third autonomous mobile robot guiding the user after the second autonomous mobile robot to move to a position past the surrounding environment.
