A conveyance control device executes: a control step of detecting entering to a merging point adjacent area set on adjacent to each merging point on the conveyance route; a detection step of detecting whether there is an obstacle around the carrying cart; a communication step of performing, when the entering to each merging point adjacent area is detected, local wireless communications with another carrying cart by using a common frequency band and a common identification code set to values different among merging points; and a merging point passing control step of starting the communication step when the other carrying cart is detected in the merging point adjacent area in the detection step, and causing passing of a merging point in accordance with a priority set to each entering passage to the merging point, after a handshake with the other carrying cart is successfully performed in the communication step.

A vehicle control system includes an operation manager controller electrically coupled to an operator controller of a vehicle and to a local vehicle control system of the vehicle. The operation manager controller receives an operator command from the operator controller and can regulate the operator command to control operation of the vehicle.

A system for guidance of a robot through a passenger cabin of an aircraft on at least a part of a defined system of paths including a robot, having at least one secondary coil, a field of coils including N primary coils being integrated in the floor of the passenger cabin of an aircraft, the arrangement of the primary coils defining a system of paths of the robot, and a control system for positioning of and energy provision to the robot including a command unit for sending instructions to the robot, so that the robot can reach a specific position of the defined system of paths.

A floor cleaning system includes multiple autonomous floor cleaners or robots. The robots are configured to share a mapping, navigation, and/or stain sensing system. A first robot carries the mapping, navigation, and/or stain sensing system, and a second robot receives information from the mapping, navigation, and/or stain sensing system of the first robot. The system can include at least one dry vacuuming robot and at least one deep cleaning robot.
