Claims6
A mobile body system including a traveling unit having an autonomous traveling function and a at least one trolley unit having a housing portion for loading an object, the mobile body system comprising:
- a detector that detects an amount of objects placed on the housing portion in a first trolley unit;
- and
- a processor that determines an operation of the traveling unit based on the amount of objects detected by the detector, wherein
- when the amount of objects detected by the detector is less than a predetermined amount, the processor determines an operation of the traveling unit in which the traveling unit tows a second trolley unit on which an object of the objects is placed to the location of the first trolley unit,
- wherein the traveling unit executes the determined operation.
