Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a control device and a control method, a program, and a mobile object that can effectively use storage capacity while saving the storage capacity and efficiently plan a movement route by storing or forgetting (deleting) a past detailed map according to importance during autonomous movement. When a global route is set, by storing or forgetting (deleting) a detailed map according to the importance on the global route to plan a local route from a frequently used global route, it is possible to efficiently plan a local route by combining detailed maps stored in the past. The present disclosure can be applied to an autonomous mobile object.
Claims17
A control device that controls movement of a mobile object, the control device comprising:
- a global-route planning unit that plans a global route to a destination;
- and
- a map storage unit that retains a map of an area with high importance in an area on the global route for a retention period according to a degree of the importance.
A control method of a control device that controls movement of a mobile object, the method comprising:
- a global route planning process of planning a global route to a destination;
- and
- a map storage process of retaining a map of an area with high importance in an area on the global route, for a retention period according to a degree of the importance.
A program causing a computer that controls a control device which controls movement of a mobile object to function as
- a global-route planning unit that plans a global route to a destination, and
- a map storage unit that retains a map of an area with high importance in an area on the global route for a retention period according to a degree of the importance.
A mobile object comprising:
- a global-route planning unit that plans a global route to a destination;
- a map storage unit that retains a map of an area with high importance in an area on the global route for a retention period according to a degree of the importance;
- a local-route planning unit that plans a local route on a basis of the map stored by the map storage unit, and the global route;
- an action plan creation unit that creates an action plan on a basis of the local route;
- and
- a control unit that controls operation of the mobile object on a basis of the action plan created by the action plan creation unit.
