Abstract
A robot includes a body, a handle provided on the body and holdable by a user, a detector that detects a load applied to the handle, a movement device that includes a rotation member and moves the robot by controlling rotation of the rotation member in accordance with the detected load, and a generator that generates tendency data, which indicates tendency of the load applied to the handle, on the basis of past load data regarding the handle obtained while the robot is moving. The movement device includes an actuator that controls a rotation speed of the rotation member on the basis of the detected load and the generated tendency data.
Claims19
A robot comprising:
- a body;
- a handle provided on the body and holdable by a user;
- a detector that detects a load applied to the handle;
- a movement device that includes a rotation member and moves the robot by controlling rotation of the rotation member in accordance with the detected load;
- and
- a generator that generates tendency data, which indicates tendency of the load applied to the handle, on the basis of past load data regarding the handle obtained while the robot is moving,
- wherein the movement device includes an actuator that controls a rotation speed of the rotation member on the basis of the detected load and the generated tendency data.
A method used in a robot, the method comprising:
- detecting a load applied to a handle of the robot using a detector;
- generating tendency data, which indicates tendency of the load applied to the handle, on the basis of past load data regarding the handle obtained while the robot is moving;
- and
- controlling a rotation speed of a rotation member included in a movement device of the robot on the basis of the detected load and the generated tendency data.
