Information processor and movable body apparatus
First Claim
1. An information processor comprising:
- a memory; and
processing circuitry configured to;
receive an image and distance data from a movable body apparatus, the image including a part of a vicinity of the movable body apparatus, and the distance data being generated by distance sensors for measuring a distance to each of objects present around the movable body apparatus;
generate area information by using the image and the distance data, the area information indicating a second area and third areas in a first area around the movable body apparatus, wherein the movable body apparatus is movable in the second area and objects are present in the third areas, respectively;
receive movement information from the movable body apparatus, the movement information including a velocity, a movement direction and/or an acceleration of the movable body apparatus;
acquire, when a movement state of the movable body apparatus is abnormal, evaluation values by using the area information and the movement information, the evaluation values being calculated based on damages to be caused when the movable body apparatus collides with the objects in the third areas, respectively;
determine, based on the evaluation values, a first position corresponding to a first object of the objects which causes a least damage; and
provide first position-related information about the determined first position for use in controlling the movable body apparatus to move to the determined first position.

Abstract
According to one embodiment, an information processor includes a memory and processing circuitry. The circuitry receives area information indicating a second area in a first area around a movable body apparatus and third areas in the first area, wherein the movable body apparatus is movable in the second area and an object is present in each of the third areas. The circuitry receives movement information including at least one of a velocity, a movement direction or an acceleration of the apparatus. The circuitry acquires evaluation values each indicative of a damage to be caused when the apparatus collides with each object in the third areas, and determines, based on the evaluation values, a position corresponding to a first object which causes a least damage.

19. A method comprising:
-
receiving an image and distance data from a movable body apparatus, the image including a part of a vicinity of the movable body apparatus, and the distance data being generated by distance sensors for measuring a distance to each of objects present around the movable body apparatus; generating area information by using the image and the distance data, the area information indicating a second area and third areas in a first area around a movable body apparatus, wherein the movable body apparatus is movable in the second area and objects are present in the third areas, respectively; receiving movement information from the movable body apparatus, the movement information including a velocity, a movement direction and/or an acceleration of the movable body apparatus; acquiring, when a movement state of the movable body apparatus is abnormal, evaluation values by using the area information and the movement information, the evaluation values being calculated based on damages to be caused when the movable body apparatus collides with the objects in the third areas, respectively; determining, based on the evaluation values, a position corresponding to a first object of the objects which causes a least damage; and providing position-related information for use in controlling the movable body apparatus to move to the determined position.
