PURPOSE: A route setting device and method for a moving object are provided to generate a stable route for a moving object by using GIS(Geographic Information System) information and sensor information even if the location of the moving object is incorrect in outdoor autonomous driving. CONSTITUTION: An information reception part(100) receives map data from the outside. A global route generation part(120) generates a global route based on the map data, location information of a moving object itself, and destination information. A surrounding environment sensor part(150) senses information about surrounding environment of the moving object when the moving object is moving. A local route generation part(160) generates a local route based on the sensed information about surrounding environment. A driving part drives the moving object based on the local route, and if two or more local routes are generated, sets up a moving object route by matching the local routes with the global route and drives the moving object.

Abstract:
An apparatus for constructing an environment map via an optimal path of an autonomous mobile robot and a method thereof are provided to construct rapidly and efficiently an initial map used for an optimal path plan, a self position estimation and avoidance of obstacles needed for enabling the robot to arrive at a destination. A method for constructing an environment map via an optimal path of an autonomous mobile robot comprises the following several steps. A map constructing apparatus starts constructing a map in a lattice direction while considering a direction of an object in a lattice map where existence of the object is expressed with probability if receiving a map construction instruction(S120,S140). The map constructing apparatus divides an overall map, where the map is constructed in the lattice direction, into local maps with set sizes(S160). The apparatus calculates disorder rate of the divided local map according as receiving the map construction instruction(S180). The apparatus constructs the map for each area according to an optimal path for construction of the map on the basis of the disorder rate of each area map(S200).
