Abstract
An accumulation method for distance measurement data is set on the basis of a drive mechanism, movement performance, a peripheral environment, or a task content of an autonomous mobile body. For example, necessity of three-dimensional data accumulation is determined, and setting is made to perform two-dimensional data accumulation in a case where it is determined that the three-dimensional data accumulation is unnecessary. Furthermore, for example, resolution of the three-dimensional data accumulation is set for each axial direction of three axes X, Y, and Z or in accordance with a height.
Claims17
An information processing apparatus comprising:
- an accumulation method setting unit configured to set an accumulation method for distance measurement data, on a basis of a drive mechanism, movement performance, a peripheral environment, or a task content of an autonomous mobile body.
An information processing method comprising:
- a procedure of setting an accumulation method for distance measurement data, on a basis of a drive mechanism, movement performance, a peripheral environment, or a task content of an autonomous mobile body.
An autonomous mobile body comprising:
- a sensor unit configured to acquire distance measurement data;
- an accumulation method setting unit configured to set an accumulation method for the distance measurement data, on a basis of a drive mechanism, movement performance, a peripheral environment, or a task content;
- an obstacle detection unit configured to detect an obstacle on a basis of the distance measurement data accumulated by a data accumulation method set by the accumulation method setting unit;
- and
- a movement control unit configured to control movement on a basis of an obstacle detection result of the obstacle detection unit.
