1. A method of managing a delivery item in the absence of a recipient, the method comprising:
checking, by a delivery item management system, whether there is an unloading request from a customer terminal for a delivery robot arriving at a place of delivery; and
controlling, by the delivery item management system, the delivery robot to automatically unload the delivery item at the place of delivery based on a result of checking,
wherein:
the controlling of the delivery robot to automatically unload the delivery item at the place of delivery comprises, if a dedicated storage box is provided at the place of delivery, controlling, by the delivery item management system, the delivery robot to automatically unload the delivery item at the dedicated storage box;
the dedicated storage box receives information on the delivery item delivered from the delivery robot for preparation by pre-regulating the temperature inside the dedicated storage box to correspond to the delivery item; and
when the delivery robot automatically unloads the delivery item at the dedicated storage box, the delivery robot supplies air inside a loading box of the delivery robot into the dedicated storage box.
