Specifically, the flight control unit 130 sets the avoidance route RTes in the horizontal direction, the upward direction, or the downward direction according to the priority subordination degree R. For example, the drone 26 having the highest priority subordination degree R maintains the flight path RTf (S75 in FIG. 3). The drone 26 with the second highest priority subordination degree R sets the avoidance route RTes in the horizontal direction. The drone 26 with the third highest priority subordination degree R sets the avoidance route RTes in the upward direction.

- the proximity suppression unit 138 When there are a plurality of other devices 26ox in the sky above the region RB and in the range of the altitude range HD, the proximity suppression unit 138 is a case where the other device 26ox is inferior to the own device 26e. Even if it exists, the movable space 144 is not set in the space. This is because it is not always easy to ensure safety when the own device 26e is entered into a space where a plurality of other devices 26ox exist. As described above, when there are a plurality of other devices 26ox, the proximity suppression unit 138 suppresses the approach of the own device 26e to the current position of the other device 26ox or the future position of the other device 26ox.
- the proximity suppression unit 138 may set the movable space 144 above the area RA and in the altitude range HD. Thus, if the movable space 144 is set so as to keep the own device 26e away from the current position of the other device 26o or the future position of the other device 26o, it is possible to contribute to further improvement in safety.

<A-1.構成>
[A-1-1.全体構成]
図1は、本発明の一実施形態に係る管理システム10の概要を示す全体構成図である。管理システム10は、複数の顧客端末20と、少なくとも1台のサービス管理サーバ22(以下「サービスサーバ22」ともいう。)と、少なくとも1台の交通管理サーバ24(以下「交通サーバ24」ともいう。)と、複数のドローン(自律移動体、移動体)26とを有する。サービスサーバ22と交通サーバ24は、移動管理部28を構成する。移動管理部28は、不図示の通信装置を介して複数のドローン26と通信するとともに、複数のドローン26の移動を管理する。図1では、1つの顧客端末20、サービスサーバ22及び交通サーバ24のみを示している。管理システム10では、顧客端末20を介して入力された商品Gの発注情報に基づいて、ドローン26が商品Gを配送する。
顧客端末20は、サービスサーバ22が取り扱う商品Gについて顧客からの発注を受け付ける端末である。顧客端末20は、例えば、パーソナルコンピュータ又はスマートフォンから構成される。
サービス管理サーバ22は、特定の企業についての受注管理、在庫管理及び配送管理を行う。図1に示すように、サービス管理サーバ22は、演算部51と、記憶部53とを含む。演算部51は、中央演算装置(CPU:Central Processing Unit)、FPGA(Field-Programmable Gate Array)等を含み得る。演算部51は、記憶部53に記憶されているプログラムを実行することにより動作し得る。演算部51によって実現される機能の一部は、ロジックIC(Integrated Circuit)を用いて実現することも可能である。演算部51は、上記のプログラムの一部をハードウェア(回路部品)によって構成することもできる。記憶部53は、演算部51によって用いられるプログラム、データ等を記憶し得る。記憶部53には、不図示の揮発性メモリと、不図示の不揮発性メモリとが備えられ得る。揮発性メモリとしては、例えば、RAM(Random Access Memory)が挙げられる。揮発性メモリは、例えばレジスタ等として用い得る。不揮発性メモリとしては、例えば、ROM(Read Only Memory)、フラッシュメモリ、ハードディスクドライブ等が挙げられる。
交通管理サーバ24は、複数のドローン26の交通(飛行)に関する情報(交通情報It)を管理する。例えば、交通サーバ24は、ドローン26の飛行許可申請をサービスサーバ22から受信した場合、当該飛行許可申請を許可するか否かを判定し、判定結果に応じて許可又は不許可をサービスサーバ22に通知する。
(A-1-5-1.ドローン26の概要)
本実施形態のドローン26は、商品配送用であり、インターネット30及び無線中継局32を介してサービスサーバ22から受信した配送指令(飛行指令)に応じて倉庫70(図1)から配送目的地Pdtarまで商品Gを配送する。後述するように、ドローン26はその他の用途で用いてもよい。
センサ群100は、グローバル・ポジショニング・システム・センサ110(以下「GPSセンサ110」という。)と、速度計112と、高度計114と、ジャイロセンサ116と、カメラ118とを有する。GPSセンサ110は、ドローン26の現在位置Pdcurを検出する。速度計112は、ドローン26の飛行速度Vd[km/h]を検出する。
光通信装置102は、他機26oとの間で光通信(第1無線通信)が可能である。ここにいう「光」は、可視光のみならず、赤外光も含み得る。光通信装置102は、例えば、赤外線照射装置及び赤外線受光装置を含む。
ドローン制御装置106は、ドローン26の飛行、撮影等、ドローン26全体を制御する。図1に示すように、ドローン制御装置106は、入出力部120と、演算部122と、記憶部124とを含む。
プロペラ駆動部108は、複数のプロペラ150a、150b、150c、150d(以下「プロペラ150」と総称する。)と、複数のプロペラアクチュエータ152a、152b、152c、152d(以下「プロペラアクチュエータ152」と総称する。)とを有する。プロペラアクチュエータ152は、例えば電動モータを有する。電動モータが交流式である場合、プロペラアクチュエータ152は、直流を交流に変換するインバータを有してもよい。プロペラ150(回転翼)及びプロペラアクチュエータ152の数は4以外であってもよい。
[A-2-1.配送開始時までの概要]
図2は、本実施形態において、顧客の発注から、ドローン26で商品Gの配送を開始するまでの概要を示すフローチャートである。図2では、ドローン26が配送を開始するまでの流れのみを示していること(又は配送開始後については示されていないこと)に留意されたい。
(A-2-2-1.飛行制御の全体的な流れ)
図3は、本実施形態の飛行制御の全体的な流れを示すフローチャートである。上記のように、飛行制御は、ドローン26(対象ドローン26tar)の飛行を制御する制御であり、ドローン制御装置106の飛行制御部130が実行する。
図4は、本実施形態の自機情報ブロードキャスト処理のフローチャートである。上記のように、自機情報ブロードキャスト処理は、ドローン26が自機情報Iedをブロードキャストする処理であり、図3のステップS71の飛行処理の一部として飛行制御部130が実行する。
鳥回避処理は、飛行経路RTf上に鳥が存在する場合、鳥を回避する処理である。鳥の検出は、カメラ118の画像Idを用いる。鳥回避処理を実行する場合、飛行制御部130は、サービスサーバ22に対して通知する。通知を受けたサービスサーバ22は、対象ドローン26tarが飛行経路RTfから一時的に外れても、エラー出力を行わない。
本実施形態によれば、複数のドローン26(自律移動体)それぞれが、自機26eの優先劣後度Rをブロードキャストする(図4のS92)。そして、他機26oがブロードキャストした優先劣後度Rを受信した場合(図3のS72:TRUE)、各ドローン26は、自機26eの優先劣後度Rと他機26oの優先劣後度Rとを比較する(S73)。そして、比較結果に応じて他機26oに対する自機26eの行動を設定する(S74~S77)。換言すれば、各ドローン26は、自機26eの優先劣後度Rと他機26oの優先劣後度Rとに基づいて、飛行制御部130を制御する。これにより、各ドローン26は、他機26oとの相互通信を確立することなしに、自律的に自らの行動(経路選択等)を設定することが可能となる。従って、例えば、他機26oとの相互通信を確立困難である場合、又は天候、鳥等の環境要因により飛行経路RTfがずれた場合であっても、複数のドローン26相互の行動を好適に設定することが可能となる。
なお、本発明は、上記実施形態に限らず、本明細書の記載内容に基づき、種々の構成を採り得ることはもちろんである。例えば、以下の構成を採用することができる。
上記実施形態のドローン26は、配送用であった(図1及び図2)。しかしながら、例えば、優先劣後度Rの比較結果に応じて他機26oに対する自機26eの行動を設定する観点からすれば、これに限らない。例えば、ドローン26は、緊急用途、広告、セキュリティ監視、測量、エンターテインメント、個人趣味等の用途で用いることも可能である。
上記実施形態では、通信装置として、光通信装置102及び電波通信装置104を設けた(図1)。しかしながら、例えば、自機26eと他機26oとで直接的に又は間接的に無線通信する観点からすれば、これに限らない。例えば、光通信装置102及び電波通信装置104の一方のみを設けてもよい。或いは、異なる周波数帯を用いる2つの電波通信装置104と光通信装置102を設けることも可能である。
上記実施形態では、揚力を生み出す回転翼としてプロペラ150を用いた(図1)。しかしながら、例えば、揚力を生み出す観点からすれば、その他の回転翼(例えばヘリコプタ用のロータ)を用いることも可能である。また、回転翼を用いずに飛行する飛行体(例えば垂直離着陸機(VTOL))に本発明を適用することも可能である。
上記実施形態の移動管理部28は、サービスサーバ22及び交通管理サーバ24を含んだ(図1)。しかしながら、例えば、複数のドローン26(又は自律移動体)の移動を管理する観点からすれば、これに限らない。例えば、サービスサーバ22のみから移動管理部28を構成してもよい。或いは、サービスサーバ22及び交通管理サーバ24に加えて、所定区域毎に複数配置されて、ドローン26の飛行を管理するローカル管制サーバを設けることも可能である。そして、サービスサーバ22からドローン26に対する配送指令は、ローカル管制サーバを介して送信されてもよい。
上記実施形態の飛行制御において、各飛行制御部130は、他機26oを特定せずに自機情報Iedをブロードキャストした(図3のS71)。しかしながら、例えば、他機26oに対して自機情報Iedを発信する観点からすれば、これに限らない。例えば、各飛行制御部130は、自機情報Iedを受信すべき他機26oを特定した上で(例えば、他機26oの識別情報を付与した上で)、自機情報Iedを発信してもよい。
