  • Patent number: 11964402
    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.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11919168
    Abstract: A robot control system according to the present embodiment is a robot control system that controls a plurality of transport robots that is travelable autonomously in a facility. The robot control system: acquires error information indicating that an error has occurred in a first transport robot; acquires transported object information related to a transported object of the first transport robot; determines a second transport robot able to transport the transported object of the first transport robot among the transport robots based on the transported object information and the error information; and moves the second transport robot to a transfer location of the transported object of the first transport robot.

  • Publication number: 20230342273
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes: a processor; a controller; a solid-state storage device; and a heat dissipation fan. The processor and the controller are connected with the solid-state storage device by using a bus, and the solid-state storage device is installed at a position corresponding to the heat dissipation fan. The processor acquires identification information of the solid-state storage device in association with location information indicating the position of the solid-state storage device, and the controller acquires identification information and a logical address of the solid-state storage device in advance, configures a reference table by associating location information corresponding to an identification number with a logical address corresponding to the identification information.

  • Publication number: 20220374216
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing an information processing apparatus includes storing, in a first storage area of a solid-state drive (SSD) of the information processing apparatus, an installation program which when executed causes the information processing apparatus to install preload data, executing the installation program to install the preload data at least partially in a second storage area of the SSD, and after executing the installation program, moving portions of the preload data stored in the second storage area to the first storage area of the SSD. The first storage area is configured to store single bit cells in which one bit of data is stored in one memory cell, and the second storage is configured to store multi-bit cells in which multiple bits of data are stored in one memory cell.
