Stage: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a traveling map creation apparatus capable of readily setting a traveling area in a traveling map for an autonomous traveling robot.SOLUTION: A traveling map creation apparatus 100 includes a position sensor 102 that obtains a positional relationship of surrounding objects to the apparatus, a floor map creation unit 121 that creates a floor map representing a predetermined floor, a self-position estimation unit 122 that estimates the self-position of the traveling map creation apparatus on the floor map, a traveling area setting unit 123 that sets on the predetermined floor a traveling area where an autonomous traveling robot 300 can travel, and a traveling map creation unit 124 that creates a traveling map including the traveling area. When a wall exists along a traveling direction on one side of a direction intersecting the traveling direction of the traveling map creation apparatus 100, the traveling area setting unit 123 sets the wall on a boundary of the traveling area. When no wall exists along the traveling direction on one side, the traveling area setting unit sets the boundary on the basis of the self-position.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 (Grant)
