1. A movable body system comprising:
- a movable body to which an image pickup apparatus is attached;
an image analyzer that performs image matching between the image captured by the image pickup apparatus and an image, which is previously captured on the travel path of the movable body;
a wall-surface detector that detects a direction of the movable body with respect to a wall surface, which is arranged along the travel path, and a distance between the wall surface and the movable body; and
a traveling-direction calculator that detects a shift of the movable body with respect to the travel path from an output of the image analyzer or the wall-surface detector, and calculates a traveling direction to cause the movable body to travel on the travel path.
