Abstract
An information processing apparatus includes a communication interface configured to communicate with a first unmanned aircraft having a first camera to be used for detecting an obstacle and a second unmanned aircraft having a second camera to be used for detecting an obstacle with higher detection accuracy than the first camera, and a controller configured to, in a case in which a predetermined event relating to the first unmanned aircraft has occurred, detect, using the second unmanned aircraft, an obstacle at a target point on a flight path along which the first unmanned aircraft travels to a destination, and control the first unmanned aircraft to navigate around the detected obstacle using information regarding the detected obstacle.
