Abstract
An autonomous mobile robot includes a target acquisition unit which acquires a target by using an image obtained by an imaging unit whose field of view is able to be changed, a target movement prediction unit which predicts the destination of the target by using the image of the target, an obstacle movement prediction unit which predicts the destination of an obstacle by using an image of the obstacle, an occlusion determination unit which determines whether or not the target is occluded by the obstacle from result of the prediction by the target movement prediction unit and result of the prediction by the obstacle movement prediction unit, and a target tracking unit which changes the field of view of the imaging unit so that the area of the target coming into the field of view increases in the case where it is determined that at least a part of the target is occluded by the obstacle.
