Abstract
A control method for a mobile object that automatically moves includes: causing a sensor disposed on the mobile object to detect a target object multiple times to acquire detection results of respective detection processes performed by the sensor as a point group; estimating a position and an attitude of the target object for each detection process based on the point group; calculating reliability of accuracy in an estimation result of the position and the attitude of the target object for each detection process; selecting, from among estimation results of the respective detection processes, an estimation result used for setting an approach path to a target position at which a predetermined position and attitude with respect to the target object are achieved based on the reliability for each detection process; setting the approach path based on the selected estimation result; and causing the mobile object to move along the approach path.
