Abstract: An object detection device includes first and second detectors each configured to detect an object by transmitting an ultrasonic wave in a moving direction of the moving object and receiving a reflected wave of the ultrasonic wave, a second detector, a memory, and a hardware processor coupled to the memory, and configured to: determine that an obstacle is present in the moving direction of the moving object, based on object detection results by the first and second detectors; determine crossing of the obstacle based on object detection results by the first and second detectors in a state in which it is being determined that the obstacle is present; and cause a driving controller mounted on the moving object, to release driving restriction control of restricting movement of the moving object when determining the crossing, or prohibit the driving controller from releasing the driving restriction control under a predetermined condition.
