The cleaning method includes: after the automatic cleaning device enters a dual-region cleaning mode, determining whether a second surface medium region exists according to a stored map in the automatic cleaning device; in response to that the second surface medium region exists, cleaning the second surface medium region; after cleaning of the second surface medium region is completed, marking the second surface medium region as a cleaned region, determining whether a next second surface medium region exists, and cleaning the next second surface medium region in response to that the next second surface medium region exists, until cleaning of all second surface medium regions is completed; and controlling the automatic cleaning device to clean the first surface medium region.

A positioning processing unit measures the position of a work vehicle by a predetermined positioning method on the basis of a GNSS signal received from a satellite. A travel processing unit causes the work vehicle to travel automatically on the basis of position information of the work vehicle. A switching processing unit can switch between an RTK method and a DGPS method. A setting processing unit sets the work mode of the work vehicle to either a work accuracy preferential mode or a work continuity preferential mode. The switching processing unit switches between the RTK method and the DGPS method on the basis of the work mode and the positioning state.

An escaping method of a cleaning robot includes: when the cleaning robot encounters an obstacle and turns around while performing cleaning along an edge of a first surface medium area, in response to a surface medium change signal from the surface medium sensor indicates that a second surface medium area is detected, searching an established room map to determine whether the second surface medium area exists in the room map; if the second surface medium area exists, determining whether a route bypassing the second surface medium area exists based on the room map and a boundary of the second surface medium area in the room map; if the route exists, controlling the cleaning robot to travel along the route to bypass the second surface medium area; and if the route does not exist, controlling the cleaning robot to return along a cleaned route to bypass the second surface medium area.

An obstacle avoidance method for a robot, an obstacle avoidance apparatus for a robot, a robot, a computer-readable storage medium, and an electronic device are disclosed. The obstacle avoidance method for a robot includes: determining a target traveling position of the robot determining an avoidance mode of the robot and controlling the robot to travel along an outer edge of a first obstacle so as to bypass the first obstacle, in response to detecting that the first obstacle exists between a current position of the robot and the target traveling position during traveling of the robot, where the height of the first obstacle is less than a measurement height range of the robot. The operational efficiency of the robot can be improved, and the operational continuity of the robot can be enhanced.

An unmanned vehicle management system includes: a traveling area definition unit that defines a traveling area on a traveling path of a work site; and a determination unit that determines whether or not an unmanned vehicle can enter the traveling area on the basis of a vehicle width indicating the width of the unmanned vehicle and a track width indicating the width of the traveling area.

A remote assistance device includes a prediction unit that predicts an assistance provision probability that assistance for a vehicle will be necessary and a priority of the necessary assistance, which are associated with assistance contents of point information, based on a travel route including assistance points and the location information on the assistance points, and a reservation unit that determines whether a reservation for assistance by an operator is necessary based on the assistance provision probability and the priority, and sets, if the reservation is necessary, a reservation for assistance for not assigning an assistance task to the operator even when a low-priority assistance request is newly made while the reservation is held.

A center includes a vehicle related device, which is communicably connected with multiple in-vehicle devices, and a service related device communicably connected with a service providing unit. The vehicle related device generates, for each vehicle, a shadow using multiple pieces of vehicle data repeatedly acquired from the in-vehicle device of corresponding vehicle, and stores the generated shadow in a shadow storage unit. The service related device generates indices corresponding to respective shadows, each of which is assigned with the timing identification information, and stores the generated indices in an index storage unit provided in the service related device. The service related device acquires, from the index storage unit, one of the indices corresponding to a designated parameter, and the vehicle related device acquires one of the multiple pieces of vehicle data from the shadow storage unit using the one of the indices, which is acquired corresponding to the designated parameter.
