The present technology relates to a control device, a control method, and a program that enable capturing an image suitable for use in image processing such as recognition of a target object. A control device according to an embodiment of the present technology generates a map including a target object existing around a moving object on the basis of output from a sensor provided on the moving object, and controls drive of a camera provided on the moving object that captures an image of the target object on the basis of a relation between a position of the target object and position of the moving object on the map. The present technology can be applied to a robot capable of acting autonomously.
