Original Abstract Submitted

A system and a method for managing presence information on a person's presence in a free address office, which can be updated and adjusted with less time and effort for adaptation to a change in the office layout, and can efficiently collect information about the person's health. The system includes an in-room camera and an information collection robot. Upon detection of a seated person, the robot moves toward an area where the seated person is detected and captures a face image of the seated person with a face camera therein. Then, the system performs a face verification operation based on the face image to identify the seated person and generates the person's presence information. The system may also generate information on whether a person is wearing a mask or not, and/or acquire a person's vital information from a vital sensor in the robot.
