Abstract
A mobile body includes a direction identifying unit that identifies a direction in which a communication target mobile body is positioned and a control unit that moves the mobile body by a first control amount indicating a pair consisting of a first absolute velocity value and a first velocity direction. Upon detecting that predetermined information is no longer received from the communication target mobile body, the control unit determines a second control amount by which the autonomous mobile robot is to be moved in the direction identified by the direction identifying unit and which indicates a pair consisting of a second absolute velocity value and a second velocity direction, and the control unit generates a second control command to switch the first control amount to the second control amount and move the autonomous mobile robot and outputs the generated second control command to a drive unit.
