Abstract
A robot includes a torso, a head coupled to the torso so as to be rotatable with respect to the torso, and at least one processor. The at least one processor determines whether the torso is inclined from a horizontal direction and, in a case where a determination is made that the torso is inclined from the horizontal direction, controls an actuator to rotate the head with respect to the torso such that the head faces the horizontal direction.
Claims20
A robot, comprising:
- a torso;
- a head coupled to the torso so as to be rotatable with respect to the torso;
- and
- at least one processor configured to execute processes comprising:
- determining whether the torso is inclined with respect to a horizontal direction;
- and
- in response to determining that the torso is inclined with respect to the horizontal direction, controlling an actuator to rotate the head with respect to the torso such that the head faces the horizontal direction.
A control method for a robot that includes a torso, and a head coupled to the torso so as to be rotatable with respect to the torso, the control method comprising:
- determining whether the torso is inclined with respect to a horizontal direction;
- and
- in response to determining that the torso is inclined with respect to the horizontal direction, controlling an actuator to rotate the head with respect to the torso such that the head faces the horizontal direction.
A non-transitory recording medium storing a program readable by a computer of a robot that that comprises a torso and a head coupled to the torso so as to be rotatable with respect to the torso, the program being executable to control the computer to realize functions comprising:
- determining whether the torso is inclined with respect to a horizontal direction;
- and
- in response to determining that the torso is inclined with respect to the horizontal direction, controlling an actuator to rotate the head with respect to the torso such that the head faces the horizontal direction.
