  • Publication number: 20240118703
    Abstract: A display apparatus (400) includes: a reception unit that receives a plurality of captured images (415a-415f); a display control unit that displays, on a display, the plurality of captured images for selection (420) by a user, as a candidate of a movement destination of a mobile apparatus; an operation input unit that receives selection of one or more captured images from among the plurality of captured images being displayed; an autonomous movement request generator that generates autonomous movement request information including information on the one or more selected captured images; and a transmission unit that transmits the autonomous movement request information that causes the mobile apparatus to autonomously move to one or more movement destinations each corresponding to an area indicated by corresponding one of the one or more selected captured images.

  • Publication number: 20240053746
    Abstract: A display system for performing a predetermined operation with respect to a moving body is disclosed. The display system includes an operation reception unit configured to receive a switching operation to switch an operation mode between a manual operation mode and an autonomous movement mode, the manual operation mode being selected for moving the moving body by manual operation and the autonomous movement mode being selected for moving the moving body by autonomous movement; and a display controller configured to display notification information representing accuracy of the autonomous movement.

  • Publication number: 20240022806
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus for controlling an image capturing process for a robot that moves in a predetermined site to capture an image of a target object. The information processing apparatus includes a memory that stores a plurality of reference images that are captured images of the target object installed in the site, the captured images being obtained at a specific image capturing position and showing different appearances of the target object, such that each of the plurality of reference images is associated with an image capturing condition of the target object. Further, there is an image capturing control unit that captures an image of the target object by using the robot moved to the specific image capturing position, and an image capturing condition setting unit that sets an image capturing condition of the target object, based on the captured image of the target object and the stored reference images.

  • 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.

  • Publication number: 20220100571
    Abstract: A scheduling system includes first circuitry and second circuitry. The first circuitry stores, in a memory, information on a plurality of tasks to be executed by at least one mobile device. The information on the plurality of tasks includes information on an estimated amount of battery consumption of the at least one mobile device in executing each of the plurality of tasks. The second circuitry receives designation of the plurality of tasks to be executed by the at least one mobile device. The second circuitry further causes a display to display a screen having a schedule in which the plurality of tasks is arranged for the at least one mobile device based on the information on the estimated amount of battery consumption.
