AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Existing elevator systems face inefficiencies due to passengers hesitating to board cars based on interior conditions, leading to underutilization or overcrowding, which hinders transportation efficiency, particularly during crowded times.
Method used
Deploying robots at elevator floors to take images of car interiors and waiting areas, estimating occupancy rates, and providing guidance to encourage or restrict boarding to maintain optimal car loads.
Benefits of technology
Improves elevator transportation efficiency by ensuring cars operate at desired occupancy rates, reducing departure delays, and preventing overcrowding or underutilization.

Abstract
To remarkably improve transport efficiency of an elevator by using a robot.SOLUTION: A robot management device is a device for managing a robot arranged on a predetermined floor of an elevator, instructs the robot to photograph the inside of a target car with a car stopped on the predetermined floor as the target car, estimates a boarding rate of the target car based on an image obtained by the photographing, and determines (A) whether or not the boarding rate reaches a target value. When the robot management device determines "not reached" in the determination (A), the robot management device instructs the robot to photograph the landing of the predetermined floor, and further determines (B) whether or not there is a user waiting for getting on the target car in the landing based on an image obtained by the photographing. Then, the robot management device commands the robot to output the guide information for urging the user at the landing to get on the target car when it is determined that the user is "at the landing" in the determination (B).SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
