  • Patent number: 11927452
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present technology includes an acquisition unit, a connection unit, and a smoothing unit. The acquisition unit acquires route information, the route information including a route including a plurality of positions and a state parameter relating to a moving state of a mobile body when the mobile body moves along the route, the state parameter being associated with each of the positions of the route. The connection unit connects a first route included in acquired first route information and a second route included in acquired second route information to each other. The smoothing unit smooths a difference between a first state parameter associated with a first smoothing point on the first route and a second state parameter associated with a second smoothing point on the second route.

  • Publication number: 20240069564
    Abstract: A map used by a mobile apparatus is satisfactorily created. The map creation unit creates at least a first map and a second map on the basis of a first recognition result of a surrounding environment. The created map switching determination unit determines an end of creation of the first map and a start of creation of the second map on the basis of a second recognition result of a surrounding environment. Since the map used in the mobile apparatus is divided on the basis of the surrounding environment, management and update can be performed satisfactorily. For example, the created map switching determination unit may determine the end of creation of the first map and the start of creation of the second map further on the basis of a creation status of the map in the map creation unit or further on the basis of a user operation.
