Provided are a device and a method for efficiently creating a following path of the target to be followed by a mobile device to enable reliable follow-up. A movement path creation unit is included that creates a path that is a following path on which a target is to be followed by a mobile device. The movement path creation unit sequentially sets a piece of path position information (waypoint) near the target, and sequentially connects the set pieces of path position information to create the path. The movement path creation unit sets the piece of path position information at a position determined in accordance with a predetermined rule based on a position and a travel direction of the target. When the target has moved a predetermined distance, a new piece of path position information is set.

The present technology relates to a signal processing device, a signal processing method, a program, and a mobile device enabling to obtain an occupancy grid map in which an appropriate path can be set. The signal processing device includes: a map creation unit configured to create an occupancy grid map indicating a presence or absence of an object in a unit of a grid on the basis of first sensor data from a first sensor used to detect the object in surroundings of a mobile device; an attribute setting unit configured to set an attribute of the grid of the occupancy grid map on the basis of an attribute of the object; and a correction unit configured to correct the occupancy grid map on the basis of an attribute of the grid. The present technology can be applied to, for example, a system that controls automatic driving.

Disclosed herein is a mobile device including a communication section that performs communication with a controller which selectively transmits control signals to a plurality of mobile devices, and a data processing section that performs movement control of the own device. The data processing section confirms whether or not an own-device selection signal which indicates that the own device is selected as a control target device has been received from the controller and, upon confirming reception of the own-device selection signal, performs movement control to cause the own device to move in accordance with a selected-device identification track which indicates that the own device is selected as the control target device.
