Abstract: The present technology relates to a moving body and a control method capable of improving affinity of the moving body for a person and a space. A moving body according to one aspect of the present technology includes a top plate that serves as a desk at which a person performs work, a support arm that supports the top plate and that can extend and contract, and a moving unit that holds the support arm and performs movement for causing the work to be performed. Furthermore, the moving body controls a posture state including a state of the support arm and a movement state of the moving unit in accordance with a relationship with an environment state as a state of a surrounding environment and a person state as a state of the person located around, sensed by a sensor. The present technology can be applied to a movable robot.

Abstract: A device and a method for performing control to change a flexible virtual bumper for maintaining a space between a mobile object and an obstacle to be equal to or larger than a predetermined distance are enabled. A data processing unit that executes control to change the flexible virtual bumper for maintaining the space between the mobile object and the obstacle to be equal to or larger than the predetermined distance, and a drive unit that drives the mobile object in such a way that no obstacle enters the flexible virtual bumper are included. The data processing unit executes control to change the flexible virtual bumper at least either in size or shape. For each one of a plurality of travel route candidates for the mobile object, the data processing unit executes a simulation of changing the bumper size in such a way that no obstacle enters the flexible virtual bumper, and selects a safe travel route.
