Cleaning route determination system and method for determining cleaning route

A cleaning route determination system includes an analyzer that analyzes behavior of airflow and particles inside a facility, a map generator that generates a dust accumulation map indicating one or more dust accumulation areas inside the facility and one or more dust amounts corresponding to the one or more dust accumulation areas, and a route calculator that determines a first route from second routes. Each of the second routes is a route for a cleaner to pass through, within a certain period of time, at least one of the one or more dust accumulation areas. A total amount indicating a sum of dust amounts corresponding to dust accumulation areas included the first route is largest among total amounts corresponding to the second routes, each of the total amounts indicating a sum of dust amounts corresponding to dust accumulation areas included in each of the second routes.

Spatiotemporal robotic navigation

Spatiotemporal robotic navigation may include providing a set of robots non-conflicting access to the same shared resources at different times so that the robots may operate without continually accounting for the locations of the other robots and workers operating in the particular site, without continually planning or updating paths after determining an initial path, and without continuously adjusting movements as the robots near one another. The spatiotemporal robotic navigation involves generating spatiotemporal plans. Each plan has a set of objectives that a robot is to execute by different time intervals. Each plan is generated so as to not conflict with the resources being accessed by other robots at time intervals set in the plans of other robots.
