Claim 0:
1. An autonomous work machine that works on a target object in a work area while performing an autonomous travel operation in the work area, comprising:
at least one processor circuit with a memory comprising instructions, that when executed by the processor circuit, causes the at least one processor circuit to at least:
obtain a distribution of the target object of the work;
determine a turn direction of the autonomous work machine in accordance with the distribution of the target object; and
control the autonomous work machine so that the autonomous work machine will turn in the turn direction at a turn timing during the autonomous travel operation,
wherein in a case in which a turn in the turn direction will be a sharp turn based on a sharper angle than a predetermined angle, the autonomous work machine is controlled to change the turn direction or the turn timing to prevent the sharp turn.
