    Abstract: A method of culturing cells including: dividing a culture area into a center area and a plurality of peripheral areas, and designating the center area and the plurality of peripheral areas as measurement positions; calculating: a confluent rate at each of the measurement positions designated; and an average confluent rate which is an average of sum of the confluent rates at the measurement positions designated, the confluent rate being defined as a proportion of an area occupied by cells in a designated area; and determining a timing to perform a subculture of the cells, based on the confluent rate, wherein the determining of the timing further includes determining when the average confluent rate is smaller than a first threshold value, the confluent rate of the center area is larger than a second threshold value, and the second threshold value is larger than the first threshold value.

    Abstract: A robot and a method for controlling the robot are provided, each of which prevents the robot from hitting an obstacle when autonomous movement of the robot is controlled using an OSS. The method for controlling a robot including a plurality of rangefinder sensors, the robot being configured to autonomously move based on a map created using one or more measurement data portions of the plurality of rangefinder sensors. The method includes: deleting some of the one or more measurement data portions of the plurality of rangefinder sensors; integrating the one or more measurement data portions remaining after the deleting into an integrated measurement data portion; and determining the integrated measurement data portion to be a measurement data portion of one or more virtual rangefinder sensors which are fewer in number than the number of the plurality of rangefinder sensors.

    Abstract: Provided is a moving vehicle which enables a user to easily recognize that the moving vehicle is stopped due to the user's own clothing or the like being determined as an object, thereby enabling the user to cancel the stopped state and return to a moving state. A moving vehicle on which a person rides and which stops moving if the distance to an object is equal to or less than a first predetermined value, said moving vehicle comprising: a sensor (124) for detecting the distance; a determiner (125) for determining, if the distance is equal to or less than a second predetermined value smaller than the first predetermined value, a state in which the field of view of the sensor (124) is blocked due to the clothing covering the sensor (124); and a notifier (128) that, if said state is determined by the determiner (125), issues a notification.

    Abstract: A mobile body configured so that multiple mobile robots can travel along the same track in formation even when an obstacle is present on the travel path of the mobile robots, and a method of controlling the mobile body. This mobile body (100) includes: a map storage (6) that stores travel path information; and an intelligence processor (10) that recognizes whether or not an object in the periphery is a mobile body to be followed (101). When the object is the mobile body to be followed (101) and the mobile body to be followed (101) does not exist on a travel path (16) indicated by the travel path information, the intelligence processor (10) sets a position on the travel path (16) in which the mobile body to be followed (101) is projected, as a temporary destination (17).

    Abstract: The present invention provides a vehicle with which it is possible to realize stable platoon travel. This vehicle (100) travels autonomously by following a leading vehicle while maintaining a prescribed distance between vehicles, wherein the vehicle (100) has: a detection unit (110) that detects moving bodies present around the vehicle; and a control unit (160) that determines an entering moving body, among the moving bodies detected by the detection unit (110), that may enter an area between the vehicle and the leading vehicle, and causes the vehicle to accelerate or decelerate on the basis of the distance between the entering moving body and the area.

    Abstract: An electrically powered wheelchair has a main frame, a seat frame, a seat back frame, a footrest frame, a wheel section, and an obstacle detection sensor. The seat frame is disposed above the main frame, and supports a sitting seat which supports buttocks and thighs of a user. The seat back frame is disposed behind the main frame, and supports a backrest which supports a back of the user. The footrest frame is disposed in front of the main frame, and supports a footrest which supports feet of the user. The wheel section movably supports the main frame. The obstacle detection sensor is installed in front of the seat frame, and detects an obstacle.
