    Abstract: A vacuum cleaner autonomously runs in a predetermined space and performs cleaning. This vacuum cleaner includes a position sensor that acquires a positional relationship between the vacuum cleaner and an object present in a two-dimensional measurement target space along a running surface of the vacuum cleaner, an estimated map acquisition unit that acquires a self-position estimation map corresponding to the measurement target space, a cleaning route acquisition unit that acquires a cleaning route created along the running surface based on a route planning map having a shape different from a shape of the self-position estimation map, a self-position estimation unit that estimates the self-position using the positional relationship based on the position sensor and the self-position estimation map, and a running controller that causes the vacuum cleaner to run along the cleaning route based on the self-position estimated by the self-position estimation unit.

    Abstract: A cleaning device includes: a range finding sensor; an acquisition unit which acquires a map of an environment including object position information, and a first path where the cleaning device is to move in the environment; an identification unit which identifies a first path partial path; a converter which converts the partial path into a differently-shaped path to generate a second path; and a motor controller which causes the cleaning device to move along the second path. The identification unit sets a region, on the map, where the range finding sensor can perform range finding from start and end points of a portion of the first path, and identifies the portion as the partial path when only one or more straight lines which traverse the region and are parallel to a line segment toward the end point from the start point are represented as the object in the region set.

    Abstract: A robot system for assisting a patient in standing up and/or sitting down is provided. The robot system includes the following elements. A drive mechanism executes a drive pattern for assisting the patient in standing up and/or sitting down. An instruction input device receives an instruction to cause the drive mechanism to execute the drive pattern. A state acquirer acquires an execution state of the drive mechanism which is executing the drive pattern. A controller decides whether or not to cause the drive mechanism to execute the instruction received by the instruction input device, on the basis of the execution state acquired by the state acquirer, and controls the driving of the drive mechanism.

    Abstract: Autonomous travel-type cleaner includes a main body, cleaning unit that performs operations of wiping and sweeping of a cleaning target area and sucking of dust, and driver that enables the main body to travel. Autonomous travel-type cleaner further includes person appearance region information acquisition unit that acquires information indicating a person appearance region in which an appearance rate of a person is higher than a threshold in the cleaning target area and controller that controls cleaning unit and driver to cause autonomous travel-type cleaner to clean the person appearance region in the cleaning target area based on current position information acquisition unit that acquires information on a current position of the main body.

    Abstract: A cleaning device includes: a range finding sensor; an acquisition unit which acquires a map and a first path along which the cleaning device is to move; a first identification unit which identifies a feature point which is a point where a distance between the object and the range finding sensor varies; a second identification unit which identifies a virtual point which is, among points on a virtual line segment, a point closest to the first path when the virtual line segment does not intersect with the first path, the virtual line segment extending toward the first path from the feature point, and having a maximum length within the predetermined range-finding range; a converter which converts the first path into a second path which passes through the virtual point; and a motor controller which causes the cleaning device to move along the second path.

    Abstract: A cleaner system includes an autonomous travel type cleaner and an information processing apparatus. The information processing apparatus includes a first information generator that generates first information about dirt based on a plurality of pieces of image data indicating a floor surface. The cleaner includes an imaging device that images the floor surface. The cleaner system includes a second information generator that generates second information based on image data acquired from the imaging device, a determination unit that determines whether the second information indicates dirt, based on the first information and generates a determination result, and a cleaning controller that changes a cleaning operation on the floor surface on which the second information is acquired, based on the determination result of the determination unit.
