Abstract: A method and a system generate global path planning of a robot according to a node specification principle that is defined based on social norms for an indoor space using an indoor map to assist human-friendly navigation of the robot.

Abstract: A control method and system for a robot. The robot control method includes allocating a task to a robot, the task associated with a place and a target user, determining a location of the target user based on an image received from a camera, the camera being arranged in a space including the place, and controlling a performance time of the task based on the location of the target user and the place.

Abstract: A robot control method includes receiving an image of a space where a robot drives; receiving driving information related to driving of the robot, from the robot; controlling a display unit to output a graphic object corresponding to the driving information, together with the image; and determining a visual characteristic of the graphic object based on the driving information, wherein the controlling includes controlling the display unit to output the graphic object in an overlapping manner with the image.

Abstract: A robot control method includes receiving, from a robot located in a space, location information of the robot; specifying, based on the received location information, at least one external camera from among a plurality of external cameras located in the space, the at least one external camera being located at a first location in the space, the first location corresponding to the received location information; receiving a robot image and at least one a space image, the robot image being an image obtained by a robot camera included in the robot and the at least one space image including at least one image obtained by the specified at least one external camera; and outputting the received robot image and at least one space image to a display unit.

Abstract: A robot remote control method and system capable of remotely controlling navigation of a robot. The robot remote control method includes outputting both a map image and an ambient image to a display, the map image including location information corresponding to the ambient image, the ambient image being of surroundings of a robot, and the ambient image being received from a camera at the robot, generating a control command for controlling the robot in response to an input to the display during the outputting, and causing the robot to drive according to the control command by transmitting the control command to the robot.

Abstract: An elevator control system has control over a door of an elevator and, thus, directly controls opening and closing of the door of an elevator which a robot is to board or alight from based on state information of the robot received from a robot control system.

Abstract: A method and a system generate global path planning of a robot according to a node specification principle that is defined based on social norms for an indoor space using an indoor map to assist human-friendly navigation of the robot.

Abstract: A robot control method includes recognizing a personal area associated with a person present in a traveling direction of a robot and controlling a movement of the robot based on the recognized personal area so that the robot avoids interference with the person. The personal area is differently recognized based on at least one of information on a country or a cultural area associated with the person, a moving direction of the person, a moving speed of the person, body information of the person, information on the path along which the person moves, a distance between the person and the robot, the type of service provided by the robot, the type of robot, and a speed of the robot.
