MONITORING DEVICE, MONITORING CONTROL DEVICE FOR MOBILE BODY MONITORING OBJECT, AND MONITORING CONTROL PROGRAM FOR MONITORING OBJECT

To continue following a monitoring object with remaining mobile bodies while replenishing energy to a mobile body that has been depleted due to lack of energy; for example, based on information from an inspection management server relating to the remaining number of mobile bodies.SOLUTION: When an inspection is started, mobile bodies 10 start from base stations 32, and travel to inspection points 28 one by one on the basis of autonomous distributed control. A prescribed inspection (such as photographing) is executed, and the mobile bodies move to the next inspection point 28. At this time, when energy is consumed by the movement of the mobile bodies 10, the respective mobile bodies 10 individually lack energy and can no longer move. Therefore, when energy reaches 20% or less due to the movement of the mobile body 10, the mobile body 10 temporarily returns to the base station 32, charges at a charging spot 34, and then returns to an area 12. Thus, inspection of all inspection points 28 present in the area 12 is possible.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 10 【課題】エネルギー不足で機能低下した移動体に対してエネルギーを補給中、例えば、点検管理サーバーからの移動体の残数情報に基づき、残りの移動体で監視対象の追従を継続する。【解決手段】点検が開始されると、移動体１０が基地局３２から発進し、自律分散制御に基づいて、１つずつ点検箇所２８へ向かい、所定の点検（撮影等）を実行し、次の点検箇所２８へ移動する。このとき、移動体１０の移動によりエネルギーが消費されると、それぞれの移動体１０は個別にエネルギー不足となり、移動不可となる。そこで、移動体１０の移動によりエネルギーが２０％以下になると、移動体１０は基地局３２へ一旦帰還して、充電スポット３４で充電を行った後、再度、領域１２に復帰する。このため、領域１２に存在する全ての点検箇所２８の点検が可能となる。【選択図】図１０
