Abstract
Putting clothes on a robot is facilitated. A robot includes an operation control unit that selects a motion, a drive mechanism that executes the selected motion, a mode setting unit that sets a mode of the robot, and a power supply control unit. The operation control unit restricts a torque of an actuator included in the drive mechanism when a clothes changing mode is set, and the power supply control unit maintains energization of an electronic circuit that realizes a function of the operation control unit, even while in the clothes changing mode.
Claims20
A robot, comprising:
- a non-transitory computer readable medium configured to store instructions;
- a processor connected to the non-transitory computer readable medium, wherein the processor is configured to execute the instructions for:
- selecting a motion of the robot;
- setting a mode of the robot;
- generate a signal for restricting a torque of an actuator in response to a determination that the mode is a clothes changing mode;
- and
- maintain power supply to the actuator during the clothes changing mode;
- and
- a drive mechanism connected to the processor, wherein the drive mechanism is configured to implement the motion, and the drive mechanism includes the actuator.
