  • Publication number: 20230205198
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes circuitry to register first point information being information on a first point that is a specific position of a mobile apparatus moving according to a user operation. The circuitry registers second point information being information on a second point that is obtained based on the first point. The first point is learned by the mobile apparatus as being to be included in a route for autonomous movement of the mobile apparatus. The circuitry further generates the route based on the first point information and the second point information.
