Abstract: A configuration is achieved in which collision risk information is received from a mobile device such as a drone, a modified path with a low collision risk is generated, and movement according to the modified path is performed. Existence of a second mobile device or pedestrian exposed to a collision risk is checked on the basis of collision risk information received from the mobile device such as a drone, and in a case where the existence of the second mobile device or pedestrian exposed to the collision risk is confirmed, collision risk information received from a first mobile device or modified safe circuit information is transmitted to the second mobile device exposed to the collision risk, or transmitted to a user terminal held by the pedestrian exposed to the collision risk. The collision risk information received from the mobile device such as a drone is risk information with which a collision risk corresponding to a three-dimensional spatial position can be analyzed.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an information processing device, an information processing method, and a program that cause a high-speed moving body to appropriately plan a trajectory. A position and distance of an object can be appropriately recognized by extracting feature points in association with a semantic label that is an object certification result by semantic segmentation, connecting feature points of the same semantic label, and forming a Delaunay mesh to form a mesh for each same object, and then a trajectory is planned. The present disclosure can be applied to a moving body.

Abstract: Proposed is a technology capable of performing an action for examining a object difficult to be recognized, to thereby avoid the collision between the obstacle and the movable object. A movable object of the present technology includes a control unit. The control unit controls an action of a movable object on the basis of an estimation result of estimating whether or not an obstacle that prevents movement of the movable object exists on the basis of an image captured by an imaging unit.
