PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a self-traveling object capable of traveling to all regions excluding any region where any obstacle exists even when any shape of obstacle exists in a region whose periphery is surrounded by a wall, a traveling object control method and a computer program. SOLUTION: A self-propelled traveling object whose movement algorithm is determined is configured to travel toward an object detected by a sensor when it starts to travel, and to judge whether or not its distance with the detected object is shorter than a predetermined value, and to, at the time of judging that its distance with the detected object is shorter than the predetermined value, travel by a first distance along the object, and to, after traveling by the first distance, travel by a second distance in a direction orthogonal to a segment connecting its location before traveling to its location after traveling, and to, after traveling by the second distance, turn almost the other way round, and to travel toward the start location of its traveling by the second distance.
