Autonomous mobile robot control system, control method thereof, a non-transitory computer readable medium storing control program thereof, and autonomous mobile robot control device

An autonomous mobile robot control method in an autonomous mobile robot control system including a host management device configured to manage an autonomous mobile robot on the basis of a route plan defining a moving route of the autonomous mobile robot, and a plurality of environmental cameras configured to capture images of a moving range of the autonomous mobile robot and transmit the captured images to the host management device, comprising:

• estimating, by the host management device, transition of a degree of congestion in a period later than present time in each of a plurality of management areas defined by dividing an operating range of the autonomous mobile robot on the basis of environmental information acquired using the plurality of environmental cameras;
• and
• updating, by the host management device, the route plan on the basis of an estimated result of transition of the degree of congestion.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing an autonomous mobile robot control program executed in a host management device of an autonomous mobile robot control system including the host management device configured to manage an autonomous mobile robot on the basis of a route plan defining a moving route of the autonomous mobile robot, and a plurality of environmental cameras configured to capture images of a moving range of the autonomous mobile robot and transmit the captured images to the host management device, the autonomous mobile robot control program causing a computer to execute:

• estimating transition of a degree of congestion in a period later than present time in each of a plurality of management areas defined by dividing an operating range of the autonomous mobile robot on the basis of environmental information acquired using the plurality of environmental cameras;
• and
• updating the route plan on the basis of an estimated result of transition of the degree of congestion.
