Described herein is a delivery robot that can be programmed to travel from one location to another in open spaces that have few restrictions on the robot's path of travel. The delivery robot may operate in an autonomous mode, a remote controlled mode, or a combination thereof. The delivery robot can include a cargo area for transporting physical items. The robot can include exterior display devices and/or lighting devices to convey information to people that the robot may be encountering, including indications of the robot's direction of travel, current status, and/or other information.

Provided are an autonomous vehicle 100 traveling along a set route, a delivery system, and a program, the autonomous vehicle including a pair of display units 103 installed at left and right on the front face of the main body and a monitoring camera 104 for shooting the front, sides, and rear of the autonomous vehicle 100, wherein by displaying predetermined eye-shaped images on the display unit 103 based on the state of the autonomous vehicle 100 and the images shot by the monitoring camera 104, the eye-shaped images are changed depending on the state of obstacles to ensure friendliness to people in stores and at delivery destinations as well as surrounding people during travel.

The present invention relates to a vehicle control device provided in a vehicle and a control method of a vehicle. A vehicle control device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a beam output unit for irradiating light to a road surface of a periphery of a vehicle, and a processor for sensing whether an object approaching toward a vehicle door is present or not via a sensing unit provided in the vehicle when a control command for opening the vehicle door is received after the vehicle stops, and, controlling the beam output unit so that information notifying the object approaching toward the vehicle door is irradiated to the road surface of the periphery of the vehicle door in a state in which the vehicle door is closed based on the presence of the object approaching toward the vehicle door.

Apparatus and methods for warning of an oncoming vehicle are disclosed. The apparatus comprises one or more sensors for detecting an oncoming vehicle, and a light emitting unit controllable to signal to a vehicle behind whether an oncoming vehicle has been detected, the light emitting unit being mounted so as to be visible to the vehicle behind. A controller detects an oncoming vehicle in dependence on information received from the one or more sensors, and controls the light emitting unit in dependence on whether an oncoming vehicle is detected.

A vehicular display device includes at least one display panel arranged on a vehicle body of a vehicle and configured to display an image, and a display control unit configured to control display of the image. The display panel includes a movable portion provided on the vehicle body, and the display control unit includes an image control unit configured to control a display form of an image when the movable portion is operated.

An illumination system includes an illumination control unit which is configured to change the illumination state of each of a left-side illumination unit (40L), a left-side auxiliary illumination unit (42L), a right-side illumination unit (40R), and a right-side auxiliary illumination unit (42R). The illumination control unit is configured to change the illumination state of the left-side illumination unit (40L) when a vehicle (1) has detected a pedestrian (P). The illumination control unit is configured to change the illumination state of the left-side auxiliary illumination unit (42L) according to the speed of the vehicle (1). The illumination control unit is configured to change the illumination state of each of light emission segments (43L) of the left-side illumination unit (40L) and each of light emission segments (44L) of the left-side auxiliary illumination unit (42L).

A system included and a computer-implemented method performed in an autonomous-driving vehicle are described. The system performs: receive a request to meet a person at a location; drive the vehicle to the location; identify the person at the location; and providing an instruction for the person to interact with the vehicle.

A vehicle display system, which is provided in a vehicle, includes a first display device configured to emit a light pattern toward a road surface outside the vehicle; and a second display device located inside the vehicle and configured to display predetermined information toward an occupant of the vehicle such that the predetermined information is superimposed on a real space outside the vehicle.

A pedestrian around a vehicle is detected and communication is performed between the pedestrian and the vehicle via lighting which is sequentially lit, whereby the vehicle and the pedestrian recognize each other and thus safety is secured. That is, provided is a communication lighting system for a vehicle in which the vehicle transmits a signal that the vehicle has recognized the pedestrian by projecting light following the movement path of the pedestrian, and the pedestrian identifies that the vehicle has recognized the pedestrian.

The present invention relates to an apparatus for displaying display information according to a driving environment and a method thereof. The apparatus for displaying display information according to the driving environment according to the present invention includes an input unit receiving driving environment information, a memory in which a program for controlling internal and external displays of a vehicle according to a driving environment is stored, and a processor executing the program, wherein the processor controls to select and project display information according to the driving environment information in an internal screen area and an external screen area according to preset partitioning.
