Abstract
To provide a delivery system or the like adapted to request a person to remove an obstacle in a given area in front of a storage cabinet. A delivery system includes: a storage cabinet; a delivery robot capable of traveling to the storage cabinet and delivering an article; at least one detection unit configured to detect an obstacle present in the vicinity of the storage cabinet; and a control unit configured to control an operation of the delivery system, including the delivery robot. When the detection unit detects that there is an obstacle within a given area in the vicinity of the storage cabinet, and when the control unit determines that the delivery robot cannot deliver the article to the storage cabinet due to the presence of the obstacle, the control unit sends a notification requesting that the detected obstacle be removed from the given area.
