Abstract
Provided is an autonomous moving body configured to move along a planned movement path, including: an external sensor configured to recognize another autonomous moving body and an operation state of the another autonomous moving body; a movement determination unit configured to determine, when it is predicted by the external sensor that the another autonomous moving body is positioned at a via point or a destination point of the own autonomous moving body at the same time that the own autonomous moving body is, whether to continue or suspend movement based on whether a task of the another autonomous moving body estimated from the operation state or a task of the own autonomous moving body has a higher priority; and a movement control unit configured to control a moving unit based on the determination of the movement determination unit.
