US 2020/0282565 A1 · TRANSPORT DEVICE, TRANSPORT METHOD, AND TRANSPORT PROGRAM

Abstract

A transport device according to an embodiment includes a holder, a driver, a force sensor, a first acquirer, and a controller. The holder holds cargo. The driver, which is a driver connected to the holder, moves the holder. The force sensor, provided in the vicinity of a connection location where the holder and the driver are connected to each other, detects a force applied to the vicinity of the connection location. The first acquirer acquires holding information indicating a holding state of the holder holding the cargo. The controller transports the cargo to the driver in a case where it is determined that the driver is caused to transport the cargo, on the basis of holding information indicating a holding state of the holder which is acquired by the first acquirer and detection results of the force sensor.
