Abstract: In a robot control system, the operation of a mobile robot that moves autonomously inside a facility is controlled based at least on an image captured by a photographing device that photographs a blind area located at a blind angle to the mobile robot. When entry of the mobile robot into a predetermined area corresponding to the blind area is detected, the amount of information obtainable from an image captured by the photographing device is increased.

A TE signal generation method switch circuit selects and outputs the 3-beam tracking error signal initially, and if the TE signal variation detection circuit detects a variation, selects and outputs the DPD tracking error signal.

Abstract: In a first reflected light amount comparing step and a first reflected light storing step, disc search is performed while moving a laser spot position from below to above an optical disc D, and a first reflected light amount which first becomes larger than or equal to a predetermined reflected light amount threshold is stored. Thereafter, in a second reflected light amount comparing step and a second reflected light storing step, disc search is performed while moving the laser spot position from above to below the optical disc D, and a second reflected light amount which first becomes larger than or equal to the predetermined reflected light amount threshold is stored. Thereafter, in a reflected light amount comparing step, the first and second reflected amounts are compared with each other. In a type determining step, it is determined whether or not the optical disc D is an SACD Hybrid, using the result of the comparison.
