Abstract
An information processing apparatus includes a crowd characteristic estimator and a plan controller. The crowd characteristic estimator estimates information regarding a characteristic of a crowd on the basis of a sensing result of an external environment. The crowd is a collection of individuals present in the external environment. The plan controller controls a creation mode of an action plan for a movable body in the external environment on the basis of at least the information regarding the characteristic.
Claims17
An information processing apparatus, comprising:
- a central processing unit (CPU) configured to:
- receive a sensing result associated with an external environment;
- generate first information, associated with a plurality of characteristics of a crowd, based on the received sensing result, wherein the crowd is a collection of individuals present in the external environment;
- and
- control, based on at least the generated first information, a creation mode of an action plan for a movable body in the external environment, wherein the action plan includes a first route of movement of the movable body that passes between the collection of the individuals inside the crowd;
- and
- a display screen configured to display at least the action plan of the movable body.
An information processing method, the method comprising:
- receiving a sensing result associated with an external environment;
- generating information, associated with a characteristic of a crowd, based on the received sensing result, wherein
- the crowd is a collection of individuals present in the external environment, and
- the characteristic of the crowd is associated with at least one of a density of the collection of the individuals in the crowd, a mutual social connection degree of the collection of the individuals, or randomness of moves of the collection of the individuals;
- controlling, based on at least the generated information, a creation mode of an action plan for a movable body in the external environment, wherein the action plan includes a route of movement of the movable body that passes between the collection of the individuals inside the crowd;
- and
- displaying at least the action plan of the movable body on a display screen.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon, computer-executable instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to execute operations, the operations comprising:
- receiving a sensing result associated with an external environment;
- generating information, associated with a characteristic of a crowd, based on the received sensing result, wherein
- the crowd is a collection of individuals present in the external environment, and
- the characteristic of the crowd is associated with at least one of a density of the collection of the individuals in the crowd, a mutual social connection degree of the collection of the individuals, or randomness of moves of the collection of the individuals;
- controlling, based on at least the generated information, a creation mode of an action plan for a movable body in the external environment, wherein the action plan includes a route of movement of the movable body that passes between the collection of the individuals inside the crowd;
- and
- displaying at least the action plan of the movable body on a display screen.
