Abstract
A central management server includes a determination module determining a landable local delivery hub among a plurality of local delivery hubs located within a preset radius centered around a destination, when a location information request for the landable local delivery hub is received from an unmanned cargo aircraft; and a control module configured to transmit a landing command including the location information of the determined landable local delivery hub to the unmanned cargo aircraft, and transmit a task execution command to cause the unmanned cargo aircraft to deliver goods to the destination. The determination module determines the landable local delivery hub, based on a combination of an expected landing standby period of the unmanned cargo aircraft, an expected battery consumption amount of the unmanned cargo aircraft, an expected delivery period of the unmanned delivery robot, and an expected battery consumption amount of the unmanned delivery robot.
