Title:
CONTROL UNIT
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2020/202428
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention addresses the problem of achieving both high reliability and suitability for complex external environments in a control unit that is used in an autonomously operating apparatus. This control unit comprises: an autonomous control circuit that constitutes a control model constructed by machine learning, the control model indicating the relationship between control of a to-be-controlled object and an external environment detected by an external-environment-sensing unit, whereby the autonomous control circuit outputs an operation control signal for controlling the to-be-controlled object on the basis of an external environment signal inputted from the external-environment-sensing unit, and also outputs a condition index signal indicating the condition of operation of the control model; and a monitoring circuit that constitutes a control unit integrally with the autonomous control circuit, the monitoring circuit having a field programmable gate array that has a re-programmable logic circuit, and inspecting at least one signal selected from the group consisting of the external environment signal, the operation control signal, and the condition index signal, thereby monitoring the operation of the autonomous control circuit that constitutes the control model constructed by machine learning.
