An autonomous mobile body comprising:
- a travel unit configured to move autonomously;
- a locker unit capable of housing an object;
- a first power source unit configured to supply electric power to the travel unit;
- and
- a second power source unit including at least one hydrogen cartridge, the second power source unit being configured to supply electric power to the locker unit by hydrogen filled in the hydrogen cartridge, wherein:
- the second power source unit allows the at least one hydrogen cartridge to be individually attached and detached, and
- a side from which the hydrogen cartridge is inserted at a time of attachment to the second power source unit is same as a side where the object is withdrawn from the locker unit.

A vehicle system comprising:
- an autonomous mobile body including a travel unit configured to move autonomously, and a locker unit capable of housing an object;
- and
- a server apparatus configured to instruct the autonomous mobile body to perform an operation, wherein
- the autonomous mobile body includes
- a first power source unit configured to supply electric power to the travel unit, and
