To provide a technique for appropriately controlling article delivery by an unmanned aircraft.SOLUTION: An article delivery system 12 comprises a first unmanned aircraft 100 which can fly in an article holding state, and a second unmanned aircraft 200 which can fly in a first unmanned aircraft 100 holding state. The second unmanned aircraft 200 determines status of a delivery point at an article delivery destination. The second unmanned aircraft 200 is so controlled that when it is determined in the status of the delivery point that return of the second unmanned aircraft 200 is difficult because the second unmanned aircraft 200 delivers an article to the delivery point, the first unmanned aircraft 100 is separated from the second unmanned aircraft 200 and the first unmanned aircraft 100 is caused to deliver the article, and the second unmanned aircraft 200 is returned.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3
【課題】無人航空機による物品の配送を適切に制御する技術を提供する。【解決手段】物品配送システム12は、物品を保持した状態で飛行可能な第1無人航空機100と、第1無人航空機100を保持した状態で飛行可能な第2無人航空機200を備える。第2無人航空機200は、物品の配送先における配送地点の状況を判断する。第2無人航空機200は、配送地点の状況の判断において、第2無人航空機200が物品を配送地点に配送することで第2無人航空機200の帰還が困難と判断された場合、第2無人航空機200から第1無人航空機100を切り離し、第1無人航空機100に物品を配送させ、第2無人航空機200を帰還させるよう制御する。【選択図】図3
