1. A control system for a mobile object, comprising:
a first sensor;
a second sensor, different from the first sensor, that is mounted in the mobile object and is configured to detect contact of an object; and
a control device configured to
recognize circumstances of the mobile object on the basis of a detection result from the first sensor,
recognize a type of an object,
recognize whether the recognized object is a first object having a predetermined type, the first object being a type of object with a higher likelihood that a linear object will be present,
control movement of the mobile object on the basis of the circumstances, and
cause the mobile object to move to a position when the first object has been recognized, the second sensor being able to detect a second object at the position, the second object being at a reference position which is determined on the basis of a position of the first object, the second object being estimated to be suspended from the first object or being located between two first objects, each of the two first objects being the first object.
