Abstract
The transportation system stores a learned model that is machine-learned so as to output a collection route that is collected by the mobile robot by inputting an end-of-use prediction result that is a result of predicting an end-of-use time of the device being lent, using learning data including collection result data indicating a collection result including a use end time at which the use of the device has ended and a collection completion time collected as a return product, and collection route data indicating a collection route collected by the mobile robot by using the device as a return product. The transport system inputs the end time prediction result to the learned model, acquires a collection route to be collected by the mobile robot using the equipment being lent as a returned item, and determines a mobile robot to be collected by the acquired collection route.
