Abstract:
A mobile robot including a motion actuator; at least one detection sensor configured to detect field information in a movement field of the mobile robot; a guidance generation unit configured to generate a motion guidance policy to a target position from a current position, the motion guidance policy being updated by the guidance generation unit when the field information has been received from the at least one detection sensor; a safety sensitization unit configured to generate a safety sensitized policy which is the motion guidance policy with a reduced velocity magnitude relative to an angle between the motion guidance policy and the current motion of the mobile robot; and a motion actuation unit configured to determine an actuation signal for instructing the motion actuator to project the current motion of the mobile robot in conformity with the safety sensitized policy provided by the safety sensitization unit.
