To provide a moving body system that can track an object to be tracked even when there are obstacles such as a building collapsed on the ground at the time of disaster.SOLUTION: A moving body system 1 is provided with: a drone 10 which is a moving body; a camera 20, mounted on the drone 10, which takes an image of the ground; a position estimating part 50 that estimates a position of an object to be tracked, on the basis of vibrations obtained by three vibration sensors 40 of three or more vibration sensors 40 arranged on the ground and positions of the three vibration sensors 40; and a control part 30 that extracts the object to be tracked from the image taken with the camera 20 and performs flight control of the drone 10 so that the drone tracks the object to be tracked, on the basis of the extracted object to be tracked and the position of the object to be tracked estimated by the position estimating part 50.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】災害時など地上に倒壊した建物などの障害物が存在する場合であっても追尾対象を追尾できる移動体システムを提供する。【解決手段】移動体であるドローン１０と、ドローン１０に搭載され、地上の画像を取得するカメラ２０と、地上に配置された３個以上の振動センサ４０のうち３個の振動センサ４０で取得した振動とその３個の振動センサ４０の位置に基づいて、追尾対象の位置を推定する位置推定部５０と、カメラ２０で取得した画像から追尾対象を抽出し、抽出した追尾対象及び位置推定部５０で推定した追尾対象の位置に基づき、追尾対象を追尾するようにドローン１０の飛行制御を行う制御部３０と、を備えた移動体システム１。【選択図】図１
