RESCUE ROBOT SYSTEM, RESCUE METHOD, AND RESCUE ROBOT

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a rescue robot system which requires no high-performance controller for recovery without reducing the processing amount and memory consumption of a CPU of an autonomous mobile robot which has failed to estimate its own position, and to solve the problem that the operation of the manager is required for the recovery and there is a problem in the timing of the recovery.;SOLUTION: A management server holds robot information about the autonomous mobile robot and periodically obtains position information from the autonomous mobile robot. When receiving a notification of rescue from the autonomous mobile robot, the server gives an instruction to a robot under control for rescue. Upon receiving the instruction for rescue, the rescue robot searches for the corresponding robot, and recovers the robot to be rescued, by calculating the absolute position and the azimuth of the robot to be rescued on the basis of its position relative to the robot to be rescued.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
