Abstract
To provide a handling system that can handle various containers. [Solution] The system is equipped with first to third sensors 3a to 3c that measure the distance to the topmost pallet PT of stacked pallets. The system calculates the difference between the distances (distances L1a, L2a) to the topmost pallet PT measured by the first to third sensors 3a to 3c and a reference distance. Then, the system controls the robot hand 22 to correct the position of the topmost pallet PT based on the calculated difference.
