Patent Images
1. A mobile body comprising:
- input means for inputting a mobile target position of the mobile body; and
a distance sensor that measures a distance from the mobile body to an ambient environment,wherein the mobile body is attached with a position detection device that incorporatesposition identification means for identifying a position and an angle of the mobile body by using map information on an ambient environment surrounding the mobile body and information obtained from the distance sensor; and
relative position calculation means for calculating the relative position and the relative angle of the mobile body relative to the target position and the target angle of the mobile body that are set by the input means, andwherein the position detection device outputs a control command to travel control means of the mobile body, based on an identification result of the position identification means and a calculation result of the relative position calculation means.
