  • Publication number: 20230294739
    Abstract: A mobile body control device adjusts a stop position of the mobile body based on an instruction of a user. The device acquires instruction information for designating a predetermined target and acquires a captured image captured in the mobile body. The device determines a position of the predetermined target from the mobile body as a stop position based on a region of the predetermined target identified in the captured image and control traveling of the mobile body toward the determined stop position. In a case where the predetermined target is not identified in the captured image while the mobile body is traveling toward the stop position, the device updates the stop position determined with respect to the predetermined target according to a motion of the mobile body to control the traveling of the mobile body to the stop position.
