  • Publication number: 20220179422
    Abstract: A control method includes a first turning step and a second turning step. The first turning step includes controlling a plurality of drive wheels to make a mover turn around a position where a first detection range overlaps with a trajectory, until a second sensor senses, in a state where the first detection range overlaps with the trajectory, a state where the trajectory is present at a first target position within a second detection range. The second turning step includes controlling, after the first turning step has been performed, the plurality of drive wheels to make the mover turn around the first target position until the third sensor senses a state where the trajectory is present at a second target position within a third detection range.
