Abstract
A conveyance system includes a conveyance robot that conveys a carried item adjacent to an obstacle, by approaching the carried item in a predetermined control target direction, getting into under the carried item, and moving when the carried item is lifted by an elevating device. The conveyance system obtains information on a control error indicating deflection in a yawing direction of a moving direction of the conveyance robot relative to the control target direction, when the conveyance robot gets into under the carried item, determines whether the carried item interferes with the obstacle, when the conveyance robot starts moving in the condition where the carried item is lifted, based on the obtained control error information, and corrects the control target direction used when the conveyance robot gets into under the carried item, to reduce the control error, when determining that the carried item interferes with the obstacle.
