<p>PURPOSE:To attain the cost reduction in the detection of an obstacle, by arranging a plurality of distance measuring instruments each using a medium such as an ultrasonic wave on a moving body such as a moving robot and performing the detection of the obstacle to impart a running control signal to the moving body. CONSTITUTION:In a moving body in a running state, under a usual state wherein no obstacle is discovered, the signal from a control apparatus operates a distance measuring apparatuses in a front monitoring mode. When the obstacle is detected, an object is tracked by one distance measuring apparatus and the scanning range of the other distance measuring apparatus is enlarged or the subsequent trend of the tracked obstacle is detected. A running control signal necessary for the moving body is outputted to allow said moving body to avoid the obstacle. By this method, the highly practicable detection of the obstacle can be performed inexpensively.</p> |
