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 map used by a mobile apparatus is satisfactorily created.
The map creation unit creates at least a first map and a second map on the basis of a first recognition result of a surrounding environment. The created map switching determination unit determines an end of creation of the first map and a start of creation of the second map on the basis of a second recognition result of a surrounding environment. Since the map used in the mobile apparatus is divided on the basis of the surrounding environment, management and update can be performed satisfactorily. For example, the created map switching determination unit may determine the end of creation of the first map and the start of creation of the second map further on the basis of a creation status of the map in the map creation unit or further on the basis of a user operation.

Abstract: An information comparison unit (53) (comparison unit) of an RSU (10a) (information processing apparatus) compares first data (D1) related to a positional relationship between a vehicle (V) and an object existing around the vehicle, the first data (D1) being obtained from a first sensor unit (59) that is mounted on the vehicle (V) by a vehicle information reception unit (50) (first acquisition unit) and that obtains information related to travel control of the vehicle (V), with second data (D2) related to a positional relationship regarding objects existing on a road (R), the second data (D2) being obtained by an object detection unit (52) (second acquisition unit). Subsequently a correction information generation unit (54) generates correction data (Dc) to be used for correcting an output of the first sensor unit (59) based on a comparison result of the information comparison unit (53), and then the information transmission unit (56) (transmission unit) transmits the correction data (Dc) to the vehicle (V).
