## Abstract

A moving device includes: a main body portion that includes a plurality of movement mechanisms; a sound collecting portion that is provided at the main body portion and that is configured to collect peripheral sounds; a controller that is configured to control the plurality of movement mechanisms and the sound collecting portion; an air circulation device that cools the controller by circulating air toward the controller, wherein, in a case in which noise in sound collected by the sound collecting portion is greater than or equal to a predetermined value, the controller is configured to stop the air circulation device.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A moving device, comprising:
a main body portion that includes a plurality of movement mechanisms;
a sound collecting portion that is provided at the main body portion and that is configured to collect peripheral sounds;
a controller that is configured to control the plurality of movement mechanisms and the sound collecting portion;
an air circulation device that cools the controller by circulating air toward the controller,
wherein, in a case in which noise in sound collected by the sound collecting portion is greater than or equal to a predetermined value, the controller is configured to stop the air circulation device.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The moving device according to claim 1, wherein:
the moving device further comprises a sensor that is provided at the main body portion and that is configured to detect a peripheral object; and
the sound collecting portion is configured to collect sound in response to the sensor detecting a person as the peripheral object.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The moving device according to claim 2, wherein, in a case in which noise in the sound collected by the sound collecting portion is greater than or equal to a predetermined value, the moving device moves toward the person detected by the sensor.

### Claim 4 (depends on 2)

The moving device according to claim 2, wherein:
the moving device further comprises a sound output portion that is provided at the main body portion and that outputs sound to a periphery of the moving device; and
in a case in which the peripheral object detected by the sensor is a notification target, the moving device provides a notification via the sound output portion.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The moving device according to claim 1, wherein:
the moving device approximates a meaning indicated by speech by inputting speech data collected by the sound collecting portion into a learning model that has undergone machine learning based on speech data and meanings indicated by the speech data.
