PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a surveillance device for mobile robot and a surveillance method capable of reliably identifying a person and a mobile robot even when the size and the velocity of the mobile robot is at the same levels as the person when the person and the mobile robot move in the same area and capable of securing human safety without an operator in charge of surveillance even when a safety function of the mobile robot malfunctions. SOLUTION: The surveillance device for mobile robot includes a reflector 12 attached to the mobile robot 1 and strongly reflecting a laser beam, a three-dimensional laser radar 14 three-dimensionally measuring a moving area of the mobile robot, and a robot restraint device 16 identifying the mobile robot and a person from the measurement results by the three-dimensional laser radar and restraining the mobile robot from operating when the relative distance between the person and the mobile robot is smaller than a prescribed threshold.
