Abstract
A delivery system includes an autonomously-moving-type delivery vehicle configured to deliver an article to a delivery destination thereof, and a transportation vehicle configured to carry and transport the delivery vehicle. A control unit configured to control an operation of the delivery vehicle acquires information about an acceleration of the transportation vehicle from the transportation vehicle, and controls the operation of the delivery vehicle based on the information about the acceleration so that a displacement that is predicted to occur in the delivery vehicle due to the acceleration of the transportation vehicle is reduced.
Claims16
A delivery system comprising:
- an autonomously-moving-type delivery vehicle configured to deliver an article to a delivery destination thereof;
- and
- a transportation vehicle configured to carry and transport the delivery vehicle, wherein:
- the delivery system makes a computer perform processes including:
- acquiring information about an acceleration of the transportation vehicle from the transportation vehicle;
- and
- predicting a displacement occurring in the delivery vehicle due to the acceleration of the transportation vehicle based on the information about the acceleration, and controlling an operation of the delivery vehicle so that the displacement is reduced.
A delivery system comprises:
- a transportation vehicle configured to transport an article to be delivered;
- and
- a manipulator configured to convey the article inside the transportation vehicle, wherein
- the delivery system makes a computer perform processes including:
- acquiring information about an acceleration of the transportation vehicle from the transportation vehicle;
- and
- predicting a displacement occurring in the manipulator due to the acceleration of the transportation vehicle based on the information about the acceleration, and controlling an operation of the manipulator so that the displacement is reduced.
A delivery method, wherein
- an autonomously-moving-type delivery vehicle is carried in and delivered by a transportation vehicle, the delivery vehicle being configured to deliver an article, and
- the delivery method makes a computer perform processes including:
- acquiring information about an acceleration of the transportation vehicle from the transportation vehicle;
- and
- predicting a displacement occurring in the delivery vehicle due to the acceleration of the transportation vehicle based on the information about the acceleration, and controlling an operation of the delivery vehicle so that the displacement is reduced.
A delivery method for conveying an article to be delivered inside a transportation vehicle by using a manipulator, the transportation vehicle being configured to transport the article, wherein
- the delivery method makes a computer perform processes including:
- acquiring information about an acceleration of the transportation vehicle from the transportation vehicle;
- and
- predicting a displacement occurring in the manipulator due to the acceleration of the transportation vehicle based on the information about the acceleration, and controlling an operation of the manipulator so that the displacement is reduced.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program for putting an autonomously-moving-type delivery vehicle into a transportation vehicle and transport the delivery vehicle by the transportation vehicle, the delivery vehicle being configured to deliver an article, wherein
- the program being adapted to cause a computer to perform processes including:
- acquiring information about an acceleration of the transportation vehicle from the transportation vehicle;
- and
- predicting a displacement occurring in the delivery vehicle due to the acceleration of the transportation vehicle based on the information about the acceleration, and controlling an operation of the delivery vehicle so that the displacement is reduced.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program for conveying an article to be delivered inside a transportation vehicle by using a manipulator, the transportation vehicle being configured to transport the article, wherein
- the program being adapted to cause a computer to perform processes including:
- acquiring information about an acceleration of the transportation vehicle from the transportation vehicle;
- and
- predicting a displacement occurring in the manipulator due to the acceleration of the transportation vehicle based on the information about the acceleration, and controlling an operation of the manipulator so that the displacement is reduced.
