Abstract
A robot may include an application processor (AP) configured to set a movement path through which driving is to be performed for a preset time, a display unit configured to display guidance information representing a movement path, and a driving driver configured to drive along the movement path, thereby guiding passengers to a destination, such as an airplane boarding position.
Claims20
An airport robot comprising:
- a processor configured to set a movement path through which driving is to be performed for a prescribed time by the airport robot, based on airplane flight information;
- a motor configured to provide a force to drive the airport robot along the movement path;
- and
- a display configured to present guidance information,
- wherein the guidance information includes at least a portion of the airplane flight information corresponding to the movement path along which the airport robot drives and a movement path map presenting information associated with the movement path, and
- wherein the processor is configured to set the movement path so that the airport robot shuttles between a check-in counter and a boarding gate for a prescribed length of time with respect to a departure estimation time.
A system comprising:
- a computer configured to store airplane flight information, set a movement path for an airport robot based on the airplane flight information, and transmit the set movement path to the airport robot;
- and
- the airport robot configured to receive the movement path from the computer and drive based on the movement path,
- wherein the computer further sets the movement path so that the airport robot drives at positions associated with boarding of an airplane for a prescribed time with respect to a departure estimation time included in the airplane flight information, and
- wherein the computer is configured to set the movement path so that the airport robot shuttles between a check-in counter and a boarding gate for a prescribed length of time with respect to the departure estimation time.
An operating method for an airport robot exchanging data with a computer, the operating method comprising:
- receiving a movement path from the computer;
- driving along the movement path;
- and
- displaying guidance information while the airport robot is driving through the movement path,
- wherein the guidance information includes at least a portion of airplane flight information corresponding to the movement path along which the airport robot drives and a movement path map providing information associated with the movement path, and
- wherein the movement path is set so that the airport robot shuttles between a check-in counter and a boarding gate for a prescribed length of time with respect to a departure estimation time.
An operating method for a computer exchanging data with an airport robot, the operating method comprising:
- storing airplane flight information;
- setting a movement path in an airport robots robot based on the airplane flight information;
- and
- transmitting the set movement path to the airport robot,
- wherein setting the movement path includes setting the movement path so that the airport robot shuttles between a check-in counter and a boarding gate for a prescribed length of time with respect to a departure estimation time.
