Abstract
A method for controlling a transport robot is provided. The method includes the steps of: acquiring, when a user makes a request for transport of a target object, information on the user and information on the transport of the target object including a delivery place of the target object; identifying the user on the basis of the information on the user, and determining a place associated with the user as a destination where a transport robot is to transport the target object from the delivery place, with reference to a result of the identification; and causing the target object to be transported to the destination by the transport robot.
