First Claim
Patent Images
1. An autonomous moving body comprising:
- a recording unit that records in advance position information of a fixed obstacle whose position does not change;
a detection unit that detects an obstacle likely to interfere with the autonomous moving body when moving through a moving path;
a check unit that checks whether the detected obstacle is the fixed obstacle;
a control unit that determines whether to clear away the obstacle when the check unit concludes that the obstacle is not the fixed obstacle; and
an informing unit that outputs a signal requesting to clear away the obstacle when the control unit determines to clear away the obstacle.

7. An obstacle sensing method for an autonomous moving body, comprising:
-
a recording step of recording in advance position information of a fixed obstacle whose position does not change; a detection step of detecting an obstacle likely to interfere with the autonomous moving body when moving through a moving path; a check step of checking whether the detected obstacle is the fixed obstacle; and a determination step of determining that the obstacle is a movable obstacle whose position changes or a movable obstacle placed temporarily when the obstacle is not the fixed obstacle. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9)
