Abstract: A control device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is a control device for a robot that operates in a facility used by a user, and includes a state acquisition unit that acquires a biological state of the user, and a control unit that limits an operation of the robot when the biological state of the user is a sleep onset state. Here, when the biological state of the user is the sleep onset state, the control unit stops the operation of the robot or limits the operation of the robot to a set maximum operation speed or less.

Abstract: A management system manages automatic ordering of a consumable product. The management system includes: a first acquisition unit that acquires information about an allowable timing of arrival of a target consumable product; a second acquisition unit that acquires information about a delivery timing or an order timing of another article other than the target consumable product; and a determination unit that determines a delivery timing or an order timing of the target consumable product such that the allowable timing is satisfied and the number of times of delivery of the target consumable product and the other article is reduced.

Abstract: An autonomous mobile robot includes a placement part, an arm configured to extend from and retract into the placement part in a horizontal direction, and a control unit configured to control a movement of the arm. The control unit moves a tip of the arm into a groove formed in a bottom surface of an object supported from underneath thereof, and then the control unit returns the tip of the arm hooked in the groove to the placement part, or the control unit moves the tip of the arm hooked in a groove formed in a bottom surface of an object placed on the placement part toward a rack configured to support the object from underneath thereof.

Abstract: The plurality of passage areas include a first passage area and a second passage area, the first passage area being a passage area for which a traveling condition for a transportation vehicle carrying an object to be transported is specified, and a second passage area being a passage area for which a traveling condition for restricting traveling of the transportation vehicle more strictly than in the first passage area is specified. The traffic management system includes a traffic management unit configured to change a regulation in at least a part of the second passage area in regard to the permission/prohibition of the traveling of the transportation vehicle based on at least one of information about a demand for the object to be transported and information about a traffic environment.

Abstract: A first exemplary aspect is a delivery shelf includes: a housing; and a plurality of pairs of supports extended inside the housing in a depth direction thereof and arranged inside the housing at regular intervals in a height direction thereof. The delivery shelf is capable of housing all of returnable containers for delivery of a plurality of predefined sizes along the plurality of respective pairs of supports, and is installed in a house.

Abstract: The traveling unit main body and the accommodation unit are adapted to be uncoupled and re-coupled. The traveling unit main body includes a first driving unit and a second driving unit configured to perform at least one of operations of taking out or storing the article from or in the accommodation unit and transporting the article taken out from the accommodation unit. The traveling unit main body performs at least one of the operations of taking out, storing, and transporting the article using the first driving unit and the second driving unit in a state in which the traveling unit main body and the accommodation unit are uncoupled.
