1. An information processing apparatus, comprising:
a central processing unit (CPU) configured to:
acquire first information regarding a first location and a first posture of a first mobile object, wherein
the first location and the first posture correspond to a first time instant,
the first mobile object includes a first sensing device, and
the first sensing device includes an image-capturing device;
predict a second location and a second posture of the first mobile object based on the first information, wherein
the second location and the second posture correspond to a second time instant, and
the second time instant is subsequent to the first time instant;
predict a position and a location of a disturbance factor in an image based on the predicted second location of the first mobile object at the second time instant, the predicted second posture of the first mobile object at the second time instant, and map information, wherein the image is to be captured by the image-capturing device at the second time instant;
generate, based on the predicted position of the disturbance factor and the predicted location of the disturbance factor in the image, first control prediction information for control of the first sensing device; and
transmit the first control prediction information,
wherein the first sensing device is controlled at the second time instant based on the first control prediction information.
