To provide an automatic patrol system that enables more efficient patrol of work sites.SOLUTION: An automatic patrol system 100 includes: an unmanned mobile body 20 that can move around a work site; an omnidirectional camera 23 that is mounted on the unmanned mobile body 20; a mobile control unit 25 that controls the unmanned mobile body 20 and the omnidirectional camera 23; and a data server 10 that stores a map of the work site, a predetermined movement path for moving the unmanned mobile body 20 in the map, and an image taken by the omnidirectional camera 23. The mobile control unit 25 moves the unmanned mobile body 20 along the movement path, causes the omnidirectional camera 23 to take a picture of the surroundings of the unmanned mobile body 20 over 360 degrees, links the picture taken by the omnidirectional camera 23 to a corresponding position on the map, and stores it in the data server 10.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】より効率的に作業現場の巡回を行うことが可能な自動巡回システムの提供。【解決手段】自動巡回システム１００は、作業現場を移動自在な無人移動体２０と、無人移動体２０に搭載された全方位カメラ２３と、無人移動体２０および全方位カメラ２３を制御する移動体制御部２５と、作業現場の地図、地図内で無人移動体２０を移動させる予め定められた移動経路および全方位カメラ２３により撮影された映像を記憶するデータサーバー１０とを備える。移動体制御部２５は、移動経路に沿って無人移動体２０を移動させながら、全方位カメラ２３により無人移動体２０の周囲を３６０度にわたって撮影させ、全方位カメラ２３により撮影された映像を地図の対応する位置に紐付けてデータサーバー１０に記憶させる。【選択図】図１
