Control device for autonomous operating machines, control method for autonomous operating machines, and recording medium having control program for autonomous operating machines stored thereon

A control method for an autonomous operating machine performed by an information processing apparatus, comprising:

• acquiring first state information indicating an operating state of a first autonomous operating machine and second state information indicating an operating state of a second autonomous operating machine in a case where the first and the second autonomous operating machines that operate in cooperation with each other select and execute at least any one of a plurality of executable operations as needed in order to achieve an object;
• generating value information indicating a height of a value of execution for achievement of the object regarding each of the plurality of operations that can be executed by the first autonomous operating machine by using a value calculation criterion based on the first state information and the second state information;
• selecting a specific operation from among the plurality of operations based on the value information regarding each of the plurality of operations;
• and
• controlling the first autonomous operating machine to execute the specific operation.

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium for storing a control program for an autonomous operating machine for causing a computer to execute processing comprising:

• acquisition processing of acquiring first state information indicating an operating state of a first autonomous operating machine and second state information indicating an operating state of a second autonomous operating machine in a case where the first and the second autonomous operating machines that operate in cooperation with each other select and execute at least any one of a plurality of executable operations as needed in order to achieve an object;
• generation processing of generating value information indicating a height of a value of execution for achievement of the object regarding each of the plurality of operations that can be executed by the first autonomous operating machine by using a value calculation criterion based on the first state information and the second state information;
• selection processing of selecting a specific operation from among the plurality of operations based on the value information regarding each of the plurality of operations;
• and
• control processing of controlling the first autonomous operating machine to execute the specific operation.
