Abstract: A service system includes a common server and multiple vehicles in communication with the common server to travel autonomously. Each vehicle performs tasks of multiple entities by cooperating with the common server. The common server includes an operating status database in which an operating status of each vehicle and a primary entity which has priority to use all or part of the vehicles are associated with each other. When one of the vehicles finishes a task of the primary entity, the common server determines whether the vehicle can perform another task of an entity other than the primary entity by checking the operating status database, and if determining so, performs the task of the other entity by cooperating with the vehicle.

Abstract: A self-propelled pallet serving as an item delivery robot includes a dynamic map memory serving as a map data memory; a BIM data memory serving as an internal structure memory; a road route generator; a coordinator; and an intra-building route generator. The road route generator obtains a road route that is a route based on the map data with an entrance of a destination building as a destination. The coordinator determines a corresponding entrance that is an entrance in the internal structure data, which corresponds to the entrance in the map data that is determined to be the destination in the road route. The intra-building route generator obtains an intra-building route that is a route based on the internal structure data, which extends from the corresponding entrance to a location that is the position of the destination individual determined based on the internal structure data.
