    摘要: A system includes a trash box, a data acquiring device, a computer of a facility, a mobile, and a management server. The trash box is placed in a space facing a road for the mobile in the facility. The data acquiring device acquires collection status data of a trash in the trash box. The management server or the computer of the facility determines whether a collection of the trash box is required based on comparing a judgment element calculated by using a collection status data with a judgment threshold. The management server transmits a collection order to the mobile if it is determined that the collection of trash box is required. The mobile comprises an automatic collection device. The automatic collection device performs an automated replenishment control of the trash box if the mobile receives the collection order.

    摘要: A shelf inventory management system according to an aspect of the present disclosure includes: a shelf including a plurality of storage boxes, each of which is identified; a mass sensor that detects a mass change of the storage boxes; and a management unit that manages an inventory of articles stored in each of the storage boxes. The management unit determines an article taken out from any of the storage boxes, based on the mass change detected by the mass sensor. The shelf inventory management system further includes a sorting robot that sorts purchased articles into the storage boxes. The management unit controls the sorting robot such that the sorting robot stores different kinds of articles having the same mass in separate storage boxes.

    摘要: To make it possible to freely move a moving body between level surfaces located at different heights that are not connected by a vertical member. A moving body includes a movable moving part, an expansion/contraction part disposed in the moving part and configured to expand and contract in a vertical direction, a first engagement part disposed at a tip of the expansion/contraction part and configured to engage with a member located in a surrounding environment, and a control unit configured to control the moving part and the expansion/contraction part. The control unit moves the moving part to a target height position by engaging the first engagement part with a member located at the target height position and then expanding or contracting the expansion/contraction part.

    摘要: A route determination system determines a transport route for an autonomous mobile body to transport an article from among a plurality of candidates. The system includes an acquisition unit that acquires setting information related to necessity of at least one of cooling retention and heat retention of the article and an extraction unit that extracts, for each of the plurality of candidates, a low-temperature environment part in which a temperature in a delivery environment of the article along the candidate is estimated to be lower than temperatures of other parts of the candidate when the setting information about the cool retention is acquired, and a route determination unit that determines the transport route from among the plurality of candidates so that the temperature in the delivery environment of the article becomes low based on a length of the low-temperature environment part.
