AUTONOMOUS MOBILE APPARATUS AND METHOD OF MOBILITY
First Claim
1. An autonomous mobile apparatus that moves autonomously along near a specified person, comprising:
- surrounding environment recognizing portion that recognizes the specified person and a surrounding environment of the specified person;
danger level detecting portion that, when there is an object in the surrounding environment recognized by the surrounding environment recognizing portion, predicts a danger level of the object with respect to the specified person; and
moving portion that moves the autonomous mobile apparatus based on the danger level detected by the danger level detecting portion.

Abstract
When an autonomous mobile apparatus moves autonomously along near a master and there is an object in the surrounding environment recognized by a camera and a communication device and the like, a danger level detecting portion detects a danger level of the object to the master, and an actuator controlling portion and an electric motor move the autonomous mobile apparatus based on the danger level. As a result, the autonomous mobile apparatus moves autonomously along near the master, as well as detects the danger level to the master and moves based on the danger level. Accordingly, the autonomous mobile apparatus can move in a manner so as to ensure the safety of the master taking this danger level into account.
