REMOTE CONTROLLER
First Claim
1. A remote controller for making a user remotely manipulate a robot moving autonomously, comprising:
- a first manipulation processing element which recognizes a designated route input by the user via an input device, and which further recognizes a boundary of a designated region and a position and an external shape of an object existing in the designated region; and
a second manipulation processing element which determines whether or not the designated route satisfies a stable movement requirement, which is a requirement in which the robot is capable of moving without straying away from the designated region as well as in a condition having low possibility of coming into contact with the object, on the basis of the recognition result of the first manipulation processing element, and which transmits a first command signal to the robot for making the robot to move according to the designated route, on condition that the determination result is positive.

Abstract
A remote controller enables a user to manipulate behavior of a robot so that the robot does not stray away from a given area and also avoids contact with an object. If a route designated by the user satisfies a stable movement requirement, a first command signal is transmitted from the remote controller to the robot. By doing so, it is possible to move the robot according to the designated route. On the other hand, if the route designated by the user does not satisfy the stable movement requirement, the first command signal is not transmitted from the remote controller to the robot. Therefore, it is possible to stop the robot from moving according to the designated route, and further to avoid the situation where the robot strays away from the designated region, or comes into contact with the object.
