  • Publication number: 20230322231
    Abstract: A vehicle control device of an embodiment includes a recognizer that recognizes a peripheral situation of a host vehicle and a driving controller that controls one or both of steering and speed of the host vehicle on the basis of a result of recognition performed by the recognizer. In a case where the host vehicle traveling in a first lane performs a lane change to a second lane adjacent to the first lane and a case where it is recognized by the recognizer that there is another vehicle in the vicinity of the host vehicle, the driving controller specifies a position of the other vehicle by changing a range to be recognized as the second lane on the basis of a relative speed between the host vehicle and the other vehicle, and executes control related to the lane change on the basis of the specified position.

  • Publication number: 20230311869
    Abstract: A control device controls at least steering of a host vehicle to execute branch control, the branch control including lane keeping control for causing the host vehicle to travel so that the host vehicle does not deviate from a first lane in which the host vehicle travels, and lane change control for causing the host vehicle to change lanes to a second lane branching from the first lane, and stops the lane keeping control and the lane change control when an event in which the branch control is not executable occurs after starting the lane change of the host vehicle from the first lane to the second lane on the basis of the lane change control, in a case in which the host vehicle plans on traveling from the first lane to the second lane through execution of the lane keeping control and the lane change control.

  • Publication number: 20220315001
    Abstract: According to an embodiment, a driving assistance device includes a recognizer configured to recognize a surrounding situation of a vehicle, a driving controller configured to control at least steering of the vehicle on the basis of the surrounding situation recognized, a receiver configured to receive an operation of an occupant of the vehicle, and an output controller configured to cause an output to output a traveling state of the vehicle. The driving controller causes a lane change of the vehicle to be made when a receiver receives an instruction for allowing the vehicle to make the lane change and a condition in which the lane change is made is satisfied. The output controller causes the output to output information about the lane change when the lane change has not been started even though a first prescribed time period has elapsed after the receiver received the instruction.

  • Patent number: 10220897
    Abstract: A mobile robot 1 having a plurality of kinds of moving forms includes a body unit 11 having a front face and a back face, four limb units 12 having a plurality of limb-side drive shafts, and front end tools 13 provided on a front end side of the limb units 12. A base end side of the limb unit 12 is connected to the body unit 11. The four limb units 12 are the same units. The body unit 11 and the four limb units 12 are movable by switching a front face side and a back face side so that a moving operation of the front face side and a moving operation of the back face side are symmetrical across the center of a thickness direction of the body unit 11.
