  • Publication number: 20230053895
    Abstract: Provided is a highly reliable, cost-effective scattered object collection system that can efficiently collect scattered objects by reducing unnecessary traveling of a traveling collector. The scattered object collection system includes a traveling collector that performs a collecting operation by picking up balls B while traveling in a work area W, sets a virtual work area Z (or a virtual priority work area Za) to an area in the work area W where balls are relatively densely present and in the vicinity of the storage space of balls, and allows the traveling collector to perform a collecting operation in the virtual work area Z (or the virtual priority work area Za) with higher priority than the other areas.

  • Publication number: 20220386530
    Abstract: A mower includes a first traveling unit which travels on a ground, a first operating unit which is joined to the first traveling unit and includes a blade which mows grass on the ground, and a guide member provided in front of the first traveling unit. While the first traveling unit travels forward, balls (objects) on the ground and in contact with the guide member move along the guide member.

  • Publication number: 20220374017
    Abstract: A working robot system includes a working robot, and a processor configured to set a working region in which the working robot performs work. The working robot includes: a machine including a traveling device configured to be able to autonomously travel; a working device configured to perform the work along a traveling route of the machine; a driving device configured to drive the traveling device and the working device; and a battery as a power source of the driving device. The processor sets a work boundary to define a preferential working region where the work can be finished, in view of work capacity of the working robot, based on location information of a preferential location set by input.

  • Publication number: 20220338409
    Abstract: A robotic working apparatus includes: a working tool configured to perform work on a field; a working robot configured to perform the work while autonomously traveling on the field; and a processor configured to set a traveling route for the working robot and control motion of the working robot In a case where a first area and a second area are set on the field as working areas of the working robot, when the working robot moves from a work end point in the first area to a work start point in the second area, the processor sets a route from the work end point to a base, and a route from the base to the work start point, which are different at least in part from one another.
