Abstract
To make it possible to change the action of an unmanned vehicle by reflecting the importance of purposes that can change in response to a change in the situation. An unmanned vehicle (11) acts according to a plurality of purposes. A purpose importance input means (12) inputs the importance of each purpose in the unmanned vehicle (11). An action parameter determining means (13) determines a parameter for controlling the action of the unmanned vehicle (11) based on purpose importance information indicating the input importance of each purpose. An action controlling means (14) controls the action of the unmanned vehicle (11) in accordance with the parameter determined by the action parameter determining means (13).
Claims14
An unmanned vehicle controlling system comprising:
- a plurality of unmanned vehicles that are each configured to act according to a plurality of purposes;
- at least one memory storing instructions;
- and
- at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to:
- for each purpose, determine an importance of the purpose based on a degree of contribution to the purpose from each unmanned vehicle;
- for each unmanned vehicle, determine a parameter for controlling an action of the unmanned vehicle based on importance of each purpose that has been determined;
- and
- for each unmanned vehicle, control the action of the unmanned vehicle based on the parameter that has been determined.
An unmanned vehicle controlling method for controlling a plurality of unmanned vehicles that are each configured to act according to a plurality of purposes, the unmanned vehicle controlling method comprising:
- for each purpose, determining, by a processor, an importance of the purpose based on a degree of contribution to the purpose from each unmanned vehicle;
- for each unmanned vehicle, determining, by the processor, a parameter for controlling an action of the unmanned vehicle based on the importance of each purpose that has been determined;
- and
- for each unmanned vehicle, controlling, by the processor, the action of the unmanned vehicle based on the parameter that has been determined.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a program executable by a processor to perform a process for controlling a plurality of unmanned vehicles that are each configured to act according to a plurality of purposes, the process comprising:
- for each purpose, determining an importance of the purpose based on a degree of contribution to the purpose from each unmanned vehicle;
- for each unmanned vehicle, determining a parameter for controlling an action of the unmanned vehicle based on the importance of each purpose that has been determined;
- and
- for each unmanned vehicle, controlling the action of the unmanned vehicle based on the parameter that has been determined.
