Original Abstract Submitted

a mobile system including: a mobile robot; a first camera installed in a first predetermined area, the first predetermined area being an area at an upper side and a front side of a side surface area of a housing of the mobile robot; and a second camera installed in a second predetermined area, the second predetermined area being an area at a lower side and a rear side of the side surface area, in which the first camera is installed so that one of side surfaces of a quadrangular pyramid-shaped field-of-view range having a viewpoint of the first camera as an apex comes into contact with the side surface, and the second camera is installed so that one of side surfaces of a quadrangular pyramid-shaped field-of-view range having a viewpoint of the second camera as an apex comes into contact with the side surface.
