An energy consumption estimation device includes a reception unit configured to receive, from a user, request information including a departure point and a destination, a route derivation unit configured to derive a plurality of travel routes based on the departure point and the destination included in the request information, an acquisition unit configured to acquire section energy consumption in a case where a vehicle travels on a road section, which is derived based on information on vehicle speed and information on road undulations, and an estimation unit configured to respectively estimate energy consumption of the vehicle in a case where the vehicle travels on the derived travel routes by adding section energy consumption for road sections included in the travel route.

The present disclosure relates to an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, and a program that can implement a robot system that is accepted by society.

An action planner plans an action of a mobile body on the basis of an acceptability level to the mobile body set for each of one or a plurality of users and an action parameter that is set on the basis of an action purpose of the mobile body and determines an action guideline of the mobile body. The technology of the present disclosure can be applied to a robot system including a transfer robot, for example.

A method for aircraft flight path generation includes, at a computing system, receiving, for a plurality of waypoints in a geographic area, predicted aircraft noise levels for an aircraft at each waypoint of the plurality of waypoints, the predicted aircraft noise levels predicted based at least in part on a plurality of flight parameters for the aircraft. The predicted aircraft noise levels are input to a flight path prediction system configured to generate a candidate flight path for the aircraft through the geographic area based at least in part on the predicted aircraft noise levels. The candidate flight path is output from the flight path prediction system, wherein the candidate flight path is predicted to result in less ground-level noise when followed by the aircraft as compared to an alternate flight path through the geographic area.

A moving object control system includes a storage device configured to store instructions; and one or more processors, wherein the one or more processors executes the instructions stored in the storage device to determine a stop position of a moving object in a sidewalk region near a specific location in a case where a degree of congestion of a sidewalk near the specific location is less than a threshold value, and determines the stop position in a region that does not belong to the sidewalk region near the specific location in a case where the degree of congestion of the sidewalk near the specific location is equal to or more than the threshold value.

According to one embodiment, a method, computer system, and computer program product for resonance avoidance is provided. The embodiment may include identifying one or more entities traversing a structure. The embodiment may also include identifying movement information and characteristic information for the one or more entities. The embodiment may further include performing a digital twin simulation of the structure based on the identified movement information and characteristic information. The embodiment may also include, in response to determining resonance between a natural frequency of the structure and a movement pattern of each entity based on the digital twin simulation, identifying one or more movement changes for each entity to eliminate resonance of the structure.

A robot includes: a sensor configured to detect an external environment within a viewing zone of the a sensor; memory storing information on a travel space including a privacy protection zone; and a processor configured to: identify whether the viewing zone will be within a predetermined distance from the privacy protection zone while the robot travels along a travel path in the travel space; based on identifying that the viewing zone will be within the predetermined distance, determine whether the viewing zone will overlap with the privacy protection zone based on the travel path; and based on determining that the viewing zone will overlap with the privacy protection zone, change a heading direction of the robot from a first heading direction to a second heading direction to prevent the viewing zone from overlapping with the privacy protection zone.

Methods and systems are described herein for navigating a vehicle. A target location may be received, and based on the target location and vehicle parameters, an acceleration profile for the vehicle may be generated. The acceleration profile may include a first duration for accelerating the vehicle and a second duration for not accelerating the vehicle. When the acceleration profile is generated, a trajectory profile for travelling to the target location may be generated using the acceleration profile. The trajectory profile may include multiple instances of the acceleration profile. When the trajectory profile is being executed, a distance travelled by the vehicle after each instance of the acceleration profile is executed may be calculated. Based on the distance travelled after each instance of the acceleration profile is executed, an instance of when the target location is reached may be determined.
