Abstract: To effectively enhance the operation efficiency of an autonomous mobile robot, an autonomous mobile robot control system includes a processor and a plurality of environmental cameras. The processor estimates a moving route of each of a plurality of moving bodies on the basis of characteristics of each of the plurality of moving bodies and sets a subset of the plurality of moving bodies whose moving routes overlap among the detected moving bodies as avoidance processing target moving bodies. The processor generates an avoidance procedure for the avoidance processing target moving bodies so the motion of the avoidance processing target moving bodies does not interfere with the motion of other avoidance target moving bodies.

Abstract: A steering system that with a directional control valve 200 switchingly operating based on a pilot flow rate supplied from a steering motor unit 300 when a steering handle 330 is manipulated, that steers a vehicle 100 according to manipulation of the steering handle 330 by controlling a supply of pressure oil to cylinder actuators C1 and C2 through the directional control valve 200, includes an electromagnetic valve unit 600a, 600b that supplies a correction pilot pressure to the directional control valve 200 so as to correct a pilot pressure generated by the pilot flow rate from the steering motor unit 300 when a command signal is given.

Abstract: The present invention lowers energy loss while at the same time enhancing the responsiveness of a steering control system. When a steering controller is operated rapidly, the aperture area of a steering flow control valve 4 rapidly increases, and the differential pressure (Pp?-PL) across the steering flow control valve 4 rapidly decreases. When the differential pressure (Pp?-PL) across the steering flow control valve 4 rapidly decreases, a flow control valve 6 is biased by the spring force of a spring 6f and quickly moves to the side of a valve position 6b to increase the differential pressure (Pp?-PL) and make it correspond to a set pressure. Thus, the pressure oil of a surplus flow ?, which up to this point has been flowing to a discharge oil line 7, is quickly supplied from the flow control valve 6 to a steering hydraulic cylinder 5 via the steering flow control valve 4. Thus, an output Q? starts quickly relative to an input St.

Abstract: When a driving unit (100) charges gate input capacitance (6) of an IGBT (7), the gate input capacitance (6) accumulates electric charges which are accumulated therein when the driving unit (100) discharges the gate input capacitance (6). Therefore, it is possible to reduce the amount of electric charges to be supplied to the gate input capacitance (6) by the driving unit (100) until the charge of the gate input capacitance (6) is completed. As a result, it is possible to reduce the required power capacity of a control power supply (15a). Further, since the electric charges accumulated in the gate input capacitance (6) are effectively used, it is possible to ensure power savings of a semiconductor device.
