Abstract
A transporting apparatus includes a speaker and a microphone that are arranged opposite to each other with respect to a transportation path, and a controller that controls a transportation mechanism based on microphone output obtained by causing the microphone to acquire a sound emitted by the speaker. The controller uses the microphone to acquire the sound emitted by the speaker and changes, based on the microphone output, at least any of a time period during which the speaker is driven, output from the speaker, and the microphone output.
