A robot control system according to an embodiment is configured to control a mobile robot configured to autonomously move by referring to a map, the robot control system being further configured to: acquire a distance to a nearby object measured by using a range sensor; specify a position of the nearby object on the map according to the distance from a position of the mobile robot to the nearby object; estimate a movement vector indicating a moving speed and a moving direction of the nearby object according to a change in the distance to the nearby object; add a cost for restricting a movement of the mobile robot on the map; and perform control so that the mobile robot moves according to the cost updated according to a result of measurement by the range sensor.
