Abstract:
The presence of an article in a second container is recognized based on image capture information from an image capture apparatus, and the type of the article whose presence has been recognized is determined by a determining portion. A control apparatus performs a transfer control on an article that has been recognized and whose type has been determined by the determining portion, and a position correction control on an article that has been recognized but whose type has not been determined by the determining portion. During the transfer control, the transfer apparatus is controlled to hold a first position on an article contained in the second container to transfer this article W1 to a first container. During the position correction control, the transfer apparatus is controlled to determine a second holding position on an article contained in the second container, and to hold the second holding position to move the article within the second container.
