Abstract

A control device and a control method can quickly estimate a self-location even when the self-location is unknown. In a case of storing information supplied in a time series detected by LIDAR or a wheel encoder and estimating a self-location by using the stored time-series information, when a position change happens unpredictably in advance such as a kidnap state is detected, the stored time-series information is reset, and then the self-location is estimated again. Example host platforms include a multi-legged robot, a flying object, and an in-vehicle system that autonomously moves in accordance with a mounted computing machine.
