Abstract: A control system is configured to control a system including a plurality of cameras installed in a facility, and perform a group classification process for recognizing a feature of a person photographed by the camera and classifying the person into a predetermined first or second group based on the feature. When there is or isn’t a person belonging to the first group, the control system selects a first operation mode and a second operation mode different from the first operation mode, respectively. When the control system selects the second operation mode, it performs the process so as to make either one of the number of cameras to be operated among the plurality of cameras and the number of cameras used as an information source in classification in the process among the plurality of cameras less than the number of cameras that are used when the first operation mode is selected.

Abstract: A control apparatus capable of efficiently detecting a target object even when the target object is shielded by other objects is provided. An object recognition unit 114 recognizes a target object 80 present in a 3D environment 4 by using measurement data acquired from a sensor 12. An information generation unit 116 generates 3D environmental information by integrating a plurality of measurement data. A position determination unit 120 determines an optimal position of the sensor 12 for performing the next measurement. A sensor control unit 140 moves the sensor 12 to the determined optimal position. The position determination unit 120 determines, by using the 3D environmental information, a position of the sensor 12 where the sensor 12 can take an image in which a size of an area shielded by at least one first object is larger as the optimal position.

Abstract: An autonomous mobile robot control system includes: a host management device; and an autonomous mobile robot. The host management device includes a data collection unit that collects sunshine condition data corresponding to a sunshine condition within a movement range of the autonomous mobile robot, and a parameter calculation unit that calculates, based on the sunshine condition data, an optimum parameter that reduces an influence of the sunshine condition corresponding to the sunshine condition data. The autonomous mobile robot includes a parameter setting unit that sets the optimum parameter. The autonomous mobile robot control system executes a predetermined operation based on the optimum parameter set by the parameter setting unit.
