Abstract
An aspect of the invention relates to a robot including an operation determining unit that selects an operation of the robot, a drive mechanism that executes the operation selected by the operation determining unit, a body temperature detecting unit that detects a basic body temperature of a user, and a physical condition determining unit that determines a physical condition of the user based on a basic body temperature cycle of the user. When the basic body temperature of the user reaches a predetermined consideration timing in the basic body temperature cycle, the robot changes an amount of activity thereof.
Claims20
An autonomously acting robot, comprising:
- a processor configured to execute instructions for:
- receiving information regarding a body temperature of a user;
- determining a condition of the user based on a cyclical history of the detected body temperature, wherein the condition is selected from a plurality of preset states;
- selecting an operation of the robot based on the determined condition of the user, wherein selecting the operation comprises selecting a preset specific action as the selected operation in response to the determined condition of the user being a predetermined condition;
- and
- a drive mechanism in communication with the processor, wherein the drive mechanism is configured to execute the selected operation.
An autonomously acting robot, comprising:
- a processor configured to execute instructions for:
- receiving information regarding a body temperature of a user;
- determining a distance from the autonomously acting robot and the user;
- determining a condition of the user based on a cyclical history of the detected body temperature, wherein the condition is selected from a plurality of preset states;
- recognizing whether a user reaction is a positive reaction;
- and
- selecting an operation of the robot based on the determined condition of the user, wherein the selecting of the operation comprises selecting moving the autonomously acting robot closer to the user in response to:
- the determined condition being a predetermined condition,
- the user reaction being the positive reaction, and
- the distance being greater than a threshold distance;
- and
- a drive mechanism configured to execute the selected operation.
An autonomously acting robot, comprising:
- a processor configured to execute instructions for:
- recognizing whether a user reaction is a positive reaction;
- selecting an operation based on both a detected vital sign of a user and whether the user reaction is the positive reaction;
- and
- a drive mechanism configured to execute the selected operation.
