Abstract
A robot includes a distance sensor configured to measure a distance to an object existing within a movement environment of the robot and autonomously operates based on the distance information measured by at least one of the distance sensor and a distance sensor installed within the movement environment. The robot includes an acquiring unit configured to acquire an operation region through which the robot passes when the robot performs an operation, a setting unit configured to set a measurement position of the distance sensor at which the operation region acquired by the acquiring unit is covered by a measurement region of the distance sensor, and a control unit configured to control the robot to operate based on the distance information measured by the distance sensor at the measurement position set by the setting unit.
