Abstract: A control system controls an operation mode of a mobile robot that autonomously moves in a predetermined area, and includes a feature detection unit, a classifying unit, and a system controller. The feature detection unit detects features of a person who is present in the vicinity of the mobile robot. The classifying unit classifies the person into a predetermined first group or a predetermined second group based on the features. The system controller selects a first operation mode when the person who belongs to the first group is present in the vicinity of the mobile robot and selects a second operation mode that is different from the first operation mode when the person who belongs to the first group is not present in the vicinity of the mobile robot, thereby controlling the mobile robot.

Abstract: A control system includes one or more processors configured to perform system control for controlling a system including a mobile robot configured to move autonomously and transport a transport object. The mobile robot includes a contact portion which comes into contact with a transport box configured to store the transport object when loading and transporting the transport box, and a first light-emitting unit provided around the contact portion and configured to emit light in a predetermined light emission pattern associated with a state of the mobile robot. The transport box includes a box-side light-emitting unit which is a light-emitting unit provided on the transport box. The system control includes control on the box-side light-emitting unit to emit light in a light emission pattern corresponding to the predetermined light emission pattern of the first light-emitting unit when the transport box is loaded on the contact portion.

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.
