Abstract: An autonomous movement device includes a sensor to detect a surrounding object, driven wheels, and a processor. The processor acquires teaching control data, generates route data of a surrounding environment based on a point cloud detected by the sensor while controlling the driven wheels in accordance with the acquired teaching control data, and memorizes a movement path along which the autonomous movement device moves in the generated route data.

Abstract: An autonomous movement device includes driven wheels, a storage, and a processor. The processor: causes taught memorized data to be memorized in the storage; based on the memorized data, controls the driven wheels to cause the autonomous movement device to autonomously travel; at a hold point, the hold point being a point at which autonomous travel of the autonomous movement device is suspended, controls the driven wheels to cause the autonomous movement device to travel in a travel mode other than the autonomous travel; and, when the autonomous movement device reaches near the hold point in a travel mode other than the autonomous travel, causes the suspended autonomous travel to be resumed.
