Abstract
The present disclosure provides an information processing device including an acquisition unit, a processing unit and an output unit.
Claims11
An information processing device, comprising:
- an acquisition unit that acquires:
- a map that distinguishes a passable area for mobile robots from an impassable area, and information relating to a size of the robots;
- a processing unit that:
- divides the passable area of the map into a first area in which a travel direction of the robots is determined and a second area in which a travel direction of the robots is not determined, and
- uses the information relating to the size of the robots to generate a predetermined data structure storing information on whether or not the robots can pass by each other in the first area as first area information and storing information on a number of the robots that can be present simultaneously as second area information;
- and
- an output unit that outputs the data structure generated by the processing unit.

A non-transitory storage medium storing a computer program that is executable by a computer to execute processing, the processing comprising:
- acquiring a map that distinguishes a passable area for mobile robots from an impassable area, and information relating to a size of the robots;
- generating a predetermined data structure, including:
- dividing the passable area of the map into a first area in which a travel direction of the robots is determined and a second area in which a travel direction of the robots is not determined, and
- using the information relating to the size of the robots to generate the data structure, the data structure storing information on whether or not the robots can pass by each other in the first area as first area information and storing information on a number of the robots that can be present simultaneously as second area information;
- generating the predetermined data structure storing the first area information and the second area information;
- and
- outputting the generated data structure.
