Claim:
1. A mobile object control system comprising: a mobile object body; a distance measurement unit that is provided in the mobile object body to measure a distance between the mobile object body and an object present in front of the mobile object body, through a use of infrared rays; a movement control unit configured to control movement of the mobile object body based on a measurement result obtained by the distance measurement unit and moving path information on a moving path of the mobile object body; a moving direction limit information storage unit configured to store moving direction limit information as information on limiting a moving direction of the mobile object body; and a moving path information generation unit configured to generate the moving path information based on the moving direction limit information, wherein the moving direction limit information is information on limiting the moving direction of the mobile object body in which a predetermined amount or more of infrared rays emitted from an external light source are radiated onto the mobile object body from ahead of the mobile object body, and when, in moving from a current position to a destination, the mobile object has no choice, due to an obstacle, but to move past a region where the moving direction of the mobile object body is limited, the moving path information generation unit generates the moving path information so as to include a moving direction in the region other than a limited moving direction of the region.
