Claim 7:
8. A system comprising:
a transport robot configured to acquire, by an image acquisition module of the transport robot, information on a user at a delivery place where a target object is to be delivered to the transport robot; and
a robot control system comprising:
an information acquisition unit configured to acquire, when the user makes a request for transport of the target object, information on the transport of the target object including the delivery place and an estimated time of the user's arrival at the delivery place;
a determination unit configured to determine the transport robot as an autonomous transport robot capable of transporting the target object among a plurality of autonomous transport robots, on the basis of the information on the transport of the target object, acquire the information on the user from the image acquisition module of the transport robot after the user arrives at the delivery place, identify the user on the basis of the information on the user, search a database to obtain a place associated with the user based on the identification of the user, and determine the place associated with the user as a destination where the transport robot is to transport the target object from the delivery place; and
a transport management unit configured to control the transport robot to autonomously travel to the delivery place such that the transport robot arrives at the delivery place before the user, on the basis of the estimated time of the user's arrival, and to autonomously travel from the delivery place to the destination to transport the target object based on analysis of images of surroundings acquired by the image acquisition module.
