  • Publication number: 20190236519
    Abstract: A collection and delivery system includes: autonomous mobile objects each configured to perform collection or delivery of a package, the autonomous mobile objects each including a loading portion, and an operation control unit configured to perform autonomous movement based on an operation instruction; and a server apparatus including circuitry configured to collect mobile object information that is information about the autonomous mobile objects, and generate the operation instruction. The circuitry is configured to determine whether, in a case where accumulation of packages loaded on a set of the autonomous mobile objects at one of the autonomous mobile objects in the set is performed, a specified condition is satisfied and to generate the operation instruction such that the set of the autonomous mobile objects performs the accumulation of the packages at a specified point when the specified condition is determined to be satisfied.
