ROBOT DEVICE, MOVING AND FOLLOWING METHOD OF ROBOT DEVICE, AND PROGRAM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To simply realize smooth and sure follow performance while avoiding an obstacle even when a target following object moves around the obstacle. SOLUTION: A robot device for moving and following a target object moving on the floor performs image processing of an image imaged by an imaging part 31, and stores data representing a direction and distance of the target object in a storage part 33 when there is no obstacle between the robot device and the target object. A move command generating part 34 determines a position represented by the latest data stored in the storage part 33 as a destination for move, and generates a move command for move to the position. A move control part 35 activates a moving part 36 based on the move command. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
