Autonomous mobile object and information collection system

An information collection system that collects information using an autonomous mobile object that moves autonomously on the basis of an operation command, comprising:

• a first commander configured to send the operation command to the autonomous mobile object;
• and
• a second commander configured to send surveyed place data to the autonomous mobile object, the surveyed place data including information about a surveillance target place, an object of surveillance, and a designation of a sensor unit to be used for sensing the surveillance target place and information about another surveillance target place, another object of surveillance, and a designation of another sensor unit associated with the another surveillance target place,
• wherein the autonomous mobile object comprises one or more sensor units and an information collector configured to collect information about a condition of the surveillance target place by the sensor unit designated in the surveyed place data when the autonomous mobile object reaches the surveillance target place while travelling on the basis of the operation command and collect information about the condition of the another surveillance target place by the another sensor unit designated in the surveyed place data when the autonomous mobile object reaches the another surveillance target place while travelling on the basis of the operation command,
• wherein the surveyed place data includes abnormality criterion associated with the object of surveillance, and
• the autonomous mobile object determines whether the information about the condition of the surveillance target place meets the abnormality criterion.
