Mobile object

Abstract

A mobile object includes a housing, a locomotion assembly that moves the housing, an arm having one end supported by the housing and having at least one joint, a ranging sensor including an optical head, and a controller that controls the locomotion assembly and the arm. The optical head is attached between any one of the at least one joint and a tip of the arm, and the controller causes the ranging sensor to measure a distance to a surrounding area by changing a posture of the arm to change the position of the optical head and controls the locomotion assembly based on three-dimensional spatial information that is obtained based on the distance to the surrounding area measured by the ranging sensor.
