Guidance system and guidance method

Abstract

To remarkably improve transport efficiency of an elevator by using a robot.SOLUTION: In the guide system, a first control part estimates a boarding rate of a target car on the basis of an image photographed by a camera installed in the target car or an actual measurement value obtained by measurement of a total load in the target car, with a car stopped at a predetermined floor as a target car, and when the first control part determines that the boarding rate does not reach a target value in the determination (A), the first control part outputs a boarding possible signal for notifying that the target car can be boarded. Further, when the second control unit receives the boarding possible signal, the second control unit instructs the robot to photograph the landing of the predetermined floor, performs determination (B) as to whether or not the user waiting for boarding the target car is present in the landing based on an image obtained by the photographing, and when the second control unit determines that "the user is present in the landing" in the determination (B), the second control unit instructs the robot to output guidance information for prompting the user in the landing to board the target car.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
