  • Publication number: 20230311760
    Abstract: A control device including circuitry configured to: perform movement control for moving a moving body to a target movement position; detect an obstacle in surroundings of the moving body: and perform notification to a user of the moving body when the obstacle is detected. The movement control is control for moving the moving body at a first speed or less. The circuitry is configured to: stop the notification in response to a notification stop input from the user of the moving body: cancel the stop of the notification when a movement speed of the moving body is equal to or higher than a second speed; and during execution of the movement control, cancel the stop of the notification when a distance between the moving body and the obstacle satisfies a predetermined condition, and continue the stop of the notification when the distance does not satisfy the predetermined condition.
