  • INSPECTION SYSTEM, MOBILE ROBOT DEVICE, AND INSPECTION METHOD
    Publication number: 20200378927
    Abstract: The present invention makes it possible for sounding of an inspection location on an outer wall of a building or the like to be performed using a simple operation. A user interface device accepts an input for designating an inspection location. The mobile robot device flies autonomously and moves to the inspection location, on the basis of the input into the user interface device and the current location of the mobile robot device. The mobile robot device inspects the inspection location using an inspection means such as a sounding means.

  • Recycled secondary battery supply forecast system and recycled secondary battery supply forecast usage
    Patent number: 9791514
    Abstract: A recycled battery supply forecast unit 201 of a battery management server 20 receives, from a plurality of vehicles 40, performance information of a secondary battery 403 mounted on each of the vehicles 40 and state information of the vehicle for determining a life of the vehicle 40, makes a forecast of an end of life of the vehicle 40 by using history of the state information of that vehicle, and makes a forecast of performance of the secondary battery 403 at the end of life of that vehicle 40 by using history of the performance information of the secondary battery 403. In addition, a forecast is made of a supply quantity of recyclable secondary batteries at a certain point in time in the future based on a forecast result of the performance of the secondary battery 203 at the end of life of each vehicle 40.
