Abstract
A movable object includes: a vehicle body; a distance measurement part configured to measure a distance to a physical object; an orientation measurement part configured to measure an orientation angle of the vehicle body; and a control device connected to the distance measurement part and the orientation measurement part. The control device acquires a measurement value of a detection range from the distance measurement part, calculates a valid range of the detection range on the basis of the orientation angle acquired from the orientation measurement part, and invalidates the measurement value of an invalid range not included in the valid range.
