Abstract
A robot, failure diagnosis system, failure diagnosis method, and recording medium that enable easy diagnosis of a failure of a robot are provided. In a robot 100, a failure diagnosis unit 150 diagnoses a failure of the robot 100, based on a spontaneous self motion made by the robot 100 independently of a predetermined target without interaction with the predetermined target.
Claims16
A robot comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- a processor which operates under control of a program stored in the memory, the processor being configured to:
- detect an action of a predetermined target to the robot, in cooperation with a sensor;
- cause the robot to make a first motion as an interaction motion for responding to the action in a case where the action is detected;
- cause the robot to make a second motion as a spontaneous self motion without interaction with the predetermined target in a case where the action is not detected, the second motion being different from the first motion;
- and
- diagnose a failure of the robot based only on a self motion for failure diagnosis included in the second motion.
A failure diagnosis method executed by a robot for diagnosing a failure of the robot, the method comprising:
- detecting an action of a predetermined target to the robot, in cooperation with a sensor;
- causing the robot to make a first motion as an interaction motion for responding to the action in a case where the action is detected;
- causing the robot to make a second motion as a spontaneous self motion without interaction with the predetermined target in a case where the action is not detected, the second motion being different from the first motion;
- and
- diagnosing the failure of the robot based only on a self motion for failure diagnosis included in the second motion.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored therein a program for causing a computer of a robot to:
- detect an action of a predetermined target to the robot, in cooperation with a sensor;
- cause the robot to make a first motion as an interaction motion for responding to the action in a case where the action is detected;
- cause the robot to make a second motion as a spontaneous self motion without interaction with the predetermined target in a case where the action is not detected, the second motion being different from the first motion;
- and
- diagnose a failure of the robot based only on a self motion for failure diagnosis included in the second motion.
