Abstract

A moving body configured to move autonomously includes: a light emitting device configured to emit light in radial directions with respect to a vertical axis of the moving body; an acquisition unit configured to acquire a moving direction of the moving body; and a light-emitting control unit configured to make the light emitting device emit light using luminous colors previously associated with each direction of the radial directions with reference to the moving direction acquired by the acquisition unit, in which the light emitting device is installed so as to be able to emit light with at least one of the luminous colors within an arbitrary range of 180° in the radial directions.
