Abstract: An autonomous mobile system according to the present embodiment includes an autonomous mobile robot that autonomously moves in a facility. Among priorities assigned to a plurality of the autonomous mobile robots for delivery of a transported object at a destination or passage through a waypoint in the facility, when the autonomous mobile robot has a lower priority, the autonomous mobile robot stands by in a predetermined standby area until another autonomous mobile robot having a higher priority completes the delivery or the passage.

Abstract: In a robot control system, the operation of a mobile robot that moves autonomously inside a facility is controlled based at least on an image captured by a photographing device that photographs a blind area located at a blind angle to the mobile robot. When entry of the mobile robot into a predetermined area corresponding to the blind area is detected, the amount of information obtainable from an image captured by the photographing device is increased.

Abstract: An autonomous mobile system according to the present embodiment is an autonomous mobile system that autonomously moves in a facility provided with a corner between aisles. When the autonomous mobile system turns at the corner, the autonomous mobile system calculates a magnitude of a corner radius of turning in a traveling path based on an obstacle captured in image data of a camera that captures an image of an exit of the corner.

Abstract: A transport system is a transport system for transporting a transported object using a mobile robot that is autonomously moveable. The mobile robot transports a plurality of the transported objects. The transport system detects that a transport destination of the transported object is different from a receiving location. The transport system outputs that there is the transported object of a different transport destination to a recipient who is present at the receiving location.

Abstract: A transport system transports a transported object using an autonomously moveable mobile robot. The transport system stores management information including a use start time, a use end time, and a use location for each equipment to be lent that is transported as the transported object by the mobile robot. The transport system executes a determination process for determining whether an interval from the use end time to a next use start time is equal to or longer than a predetermined time for each equipment based on the management information. The transport system transports the equipment to its storage location after an end of use of the equipment when the interval is equal to or longer than the predetermined time, and transports the equipment to a next use location of the equipment after the end of the use of the equipment when the interval is shorter than the predetermined time.
