1. An autonomous mobile robot linkage system comprising:
a plurality of signs disposed along a travel path;
an autonomous mobile robot which moves along the travel path while reading the plurality of signs in order using a camera and performs predetermined operations in order of pre-set operation numbers based on identification numbers read from the signs; and
a host controlling circuitry which receives information on the operation number being executed from the autonomous mobile robot and generates an event on the travel path based on the operation number,
wherein the operation number is accompanied by an index number relating to a going path and a returning path of the travel path.
