ROUTE DETERMINING DEVICE, ROBOT, AND ROUTE DETERMINING METHOD

This disclosure provides a route determining device capable of determining a route of a moving device such that the moving device smoothly moves to a destination while avoiding an interference with a traffic participant even in a congested traffic environment. A route determining device determines a provisional movement velocity command v_cnn such that an interference between a robot and traffic participants is avoided using the CNN, determines a distance dist between the robot and the traffic participant closest to the robot when the robot is assumed to move from the current position by a command v_cnn in accordance with the reliability P of the command v_cnn, and determines a movement velocity command v of the robot using a DWA such that a target function G including the distance dist and the movement velocity command v of the robot as independent variables has a maximum value.
