Abstract: An autonomous travel cart includes a control device controlling the autonomous travel cart to travel autonomously based on detection information from an obstacle detection device. The control device includes a wall length detection unit that detects wall lengths of wall portions from the autonomous travel cart to an exit end of the narrow path, a wall length determination unit that determines whether or not the wall lengths are greater than a predetermined wall length threshold, and a narrow path travel control unit that controls the autonomous travel cart to travel at a normal speed when the wall lengths are greater than the predetermined wall length threshold, and to decelerate and travel at a predetermined reduced speed when at least one of the wall lengths detected by the wall length detection unit is equal to or less than the predetermined wall length threshold.

Abstract: A tracking vehicle control system includes a drive section, a drive control section, a recognition section, a first judgement section, and a second judgement section. After the drive control section controls the drive section to get a tracking vehicle to track a tracking object according to a result of recognition of the tracking object performed by the recognition section, the drive control section controls the drive section to stop the tracking vehicle from tracking the tracking object when the first judgement section judges that the tracking object has started access to the tracking vehicle. The drive control section controls the drive section to get the tracking vehicle to restart tracking the tracking object when the second judgement section judges that the tracking object has ended access to the tracking vehicle. The recognition section recognizes the tracking object even when tracking of the tracking object by the tracking vehicle is suspended.

Abstract: An autonomous travel cart includes a control device that determines whether or not an obstacle detected by an ultrasonic obstacle detection device is detected by a laser obstacle detection device based on a detection information from the laser obstacle detection device and a distance information from the ultrasonic obstacle detection device. The control device executes a travel control based on the detection information when it is determined the obstacle detected by the ultrasonic obstacle detection device is detected by the laser obstacle detection device, and executes the travel control based on the distance information when it is determined that the obstacle detected by the ultrasonic obstacle detection device is not detected by the laser obstacle detection device.
