To automate the work of recognizing a guest, check the appointment, notify
a host of the arrival of the guest and conduct the guest to a designated
place, a robot having a function to autonomously travel is equipped with
camera/microphone for recognizing a guest at least according to image
information. The system comprises management database adapted to
communicate with the robot and equipped with an information database for
identifying the recognized guest, and identifies the guest according to
the information obtained from the camera/microphone and management
database. The robot recognizes the guest from the image thereof, and the
recognized guest is identified and verified by comparing the image of the
visitor with the information contained in the database so that the robot
can automatically conduct the guest to the designated meeting room
according to the information of the appointment stored in the database.
