Abstract:
A shelf transport system comprising a shelf transport vehicle transporting a shelf having shelf legs, the shelf transport vehicle comprising: a distance sensor measuring a distance to an obstacle; a shelf leg candidate detection module detecting shelf leg candidates, which are candidates for the shelf legs; a shelf arrangement candidate calculation module calculating shelf arrangement candidates, in each of which the shelf is virtually arranged on the shelf leg candidates; an excess/deficiency calculation module calculating, for each of the shelf arrangement candidates, the excessive and the deficient number of shelf leg candidates; a shelf arrangement determination module determining a shelf arrangement from among the shelf arrangement candidates based on the excessive and the deficient number of shelf leg candidates; and a movement destination determination module determining a shelf to which the shelf transport vehicle is to be moved based on the shelf arrangement.

Claim (Index 3):
The shelf transport system according to  claim 1 , wherein the shelf arrangement determination module is configured to:\n calculate, for each of the plurality of shelf arrangement candidates, an evaluation based on the excessive number of shelf leg candidates and the deficient number of shelf leg candidates; lower the evaluation of one of the plurality of shelf arrangement candidates when another object exists in a region of the arranged shelf in the one of the plurality of shelf arrangement candidates; and determine the shelf arrangement from among the plurality of shelf arrangement candidates based on the evaluation.
