Abstract
A mobile unit control device includes an imaging unit, an identification unit, and a control unit. When installed on a mobile unit, the imaging unit captures at least a portion of the surroundings of the mobile unit to obtain an image thereof. When the image captured by the imaging unit includes a figure of a person, the identification unit determines a trunk of the person in the figure of the person as a representative point. The control unit controls a movement of the mobile unit on the basis of the position of the representative point determined by the identification unit in the image.
