Abstract
During movement control wherein a moving body tracks a user while in front of the user, a coordinate obtained from the torso of the user is used as the X coordinate of the position of the user, and among the position of the body of the user and the position of the feet of the user, the position which is closer to the moving body is used as the Y coordinate. Thus, the moving body is able to move to a target position in the left/right direction (the X coordinate) and the front/back direction (the Y coordinate) that is appropriate with respect to the user. Accordingly, the distance between the moving body and the user can be maintained appropriately, and movement control in front of the user and that is not an impediment to the user can be accomplished.
