Abstract
A control system includes one or more processors configured to perform system control for controlling a system including a mobile robot configured to move autonomously and to be operated by a user based on a feature of a mobile body present around an operation interface configured to operate the mobile robot. The system control includes change control for changing operation limitation on the operation interface when the feature satisfies a predetermined condition.
Claims10
A control system comprising one or more processors configured to perform system control for controlling a system including a mobile robot configured to move in a hospital, the mobile robot being configured to move autonomously and to be operated by a user through an operation interface wherein:
- the one or more processors are configured to:
- (a) determine whether a person within a threshold distance from the operation interface is a nurse, based on information on a color of clothing of the person;
- (b) in a case where the person is determined to be a nurse, display on the operation interface an emergency stop button, a nurse call button, a mode switching button, a destination change button, a route change button, a wagon unloading button, and a move-to-charging-location button;
- (c) in a case where the person is determined not to be a nurse, display only the nurse call button on the operation interface;
- and
- (d) the nurse call button is a button configured to call a nurse.
A control method comprising performing system control for controlling a system including a mobile robot configured to move in a hospital, the mobile robot being configured to move autonomously and to be operated by a user through an operation interface, the method comprising:
- (a) determine whether a person within a threshold distance from the operation interface is a nurse, based on information on a color of clothing of the person;
- (b) in a case where the person is determined to be a nurse, display on the operation interface an emergency stop button, a nurse call button, a mode switching button, a destination change button, a route change button, a wagon unloading button, and a move-to-charging-location button;
- (c) in a case where the person is determined not to be a nurse, display only the nurse call button on the operation interface;
- and
- (d) the nurse call button is a button configured to call a nurse.
A non-transitory storage medium storing instructions that are executable by one or more processors and that cause the one or more processors to perform functions comprising performing a process of performing system control for controlling a system including a mobile robot configured to move in a hospital, the mobile robot being configured to move autonomously and to be operated by a user through an operation interface wherein:
- the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
- (a) determine whether a person within a threshold distance from the operation interface is a nurse, based on information on a color of clothing of the person;
- (b) in a case where the person is determined to be a nurse, display on the operation interface an emergency stop button, a nurse call button, a mode switching button, a destination change button, a route change button, a wagon unloading button, and a move-to-charging-location button;
- (c) in a case where the person is determined not to be a nurse, display only the nurse call button on the operation interface;
- and
- (d) the nurse call button is a button configured to call a nurse.
