Abstract:
1. A method of using an autonomous mobile robot system, the autonomous mobile robot system comprising: a mobile robot; and a computing system; and the method comprising: measuring, using the mobile robot, surrounding conditions of the mobile robot; estimating, using the mobile robot, position-posture data from the measured surrounding conditions of the mobile robot and an environmental map; controlling, using the mobile robot, movements of the mobile robot according to movement control data determined from the position-posture data estimated and movement route data; generating, using the computer system, the environmental map indicating environmental geometric conditions including objects present in an environment where the mobile robot is to move around; creating, using the computer system, the movement route data for movements of the mobile robot in a coordinate scheme of the environmental map; and determining, using the computer system, a value of a collision probability parameter indicating a level of predictive probability of collision of the mobile robot with an object in mobile robot movements with inclusion of control errors through calculation by using robot composition information regarding the mobile robot, the environmental map prepared, and the movement route data created.
