Abstract
A conventional mobile body control apparatus includes: a robot control unit configured to control a mobile body based on a first control input value; and a control input calculation unit configured to calculate a second control input value that will be the first control input value of the next control cycle, in which the control input calculation unit calculates a route cost through simulation of at least one predictive control input value predicted to be provided to the robot control unit after the first control input value, the simulation being performed by taking into account a stochastic noise, to thereby calculate the second control input value that results in a smaller route cost.
