MOBILE BODY NAVIGATING DEVICE

摘要

A mobile body navigating device which is capable of enabling a mobile body of any of various types, such as a robot to perform a desired motion by means of a simple configuration while reliably guiding the mobile body along a specified path, requires no complex mechanism nor operation, is easily usable by anyone, enables a path to be easily created and modified, is excellent in operability, maintainability, and versatility, requires no complex control, is excellent in stability and reliability of a motion, is usable in combination with the existing robot and so on, and is excellent in mass-producibility. An image capturing unit installed independently of the mobile body captures an image of a region including the movement path along which the mobile body moves.  An image receiving unit receives the image via a communication line.  An image processing unit creates a navigation image on which markers representing the movement path and the motion of the mobile body are superimposed.  A mobile body position checking unit detects the positions in which the markers are superimposed on the mobile body and checks the position of the mobile body.  An action command transmitting unit transmits an action command generated by an action command generating unit to a communication unit installed in the mobile body.
