Abstract
One aspect of an autonomous traveling device includes: a recognition unit that recognizes an obstacle for each of right and left regions sandwiching a body of the autonomous traveling device; a direction calculation unit that calculates a direction along the obstacle for each of the right and left regions; and a deviation control unit that causes the body to move away from the obstacle by combining a rotational movement that changes orientation of the body toward an intermediate direction of each of the directions calculated by the direction calculation unit and a backward movement that causes the body to move backward.
Claims6
An autonomous traveling device comprising:
- a recognition unit that recognizes an obstacle for each of right and left regions sandwiching a body of the autonomous traveling device;
- a direction calculation unit that calculates a direction along the obstacle for each of the right and left regions;
- and
- a deviation control unit that causes the body to move away from the obstacle by combining a rotational movement that changes orientation of the body toward an intermediate direction of each of the directions calculated by the direction calculation unit and a backward movement that causes the body to move backward.
An autonomous traveling device control method comprising:
- a recognition step of recognizing an obstacle for each of right and left regions sandwiching a body of the autonomous traveling device;
- a direction calculation step of calculating a direction along the obstacle for each of the right and left regions;
- and
- a deviation control step of causing the body to move away from the obstacle by combining a rotational movement that changes orientation of the body toward an intermediate direction of each of the directions calculated at the direction calculation step and a backward movement that causes the body to move backward.
