Abstract
An aspect of the invention provides technology of changing behavioral characteristics when clothing is put on a robot. An autonomously acting robot includes an operation control unit that controls an operation of the robot, a drive mechanism that executes an operation specified by the operation control unit, and an equipment detecting unit that detects clothing worn by the robot. The robot refers to action restriction information correlated in advance to the clothing, and regulates an output of the drive mechanism.
Claims20
An autonomously acting robot, comprising:
- a non-transitory computer readable medium configured to store instructions thereon;
- a sensor configured to detect a touch on a body surface of the autonomously acting robot;
- a detector configured to detect whether the autonomously acting robot is wearing clothing;
- a processor connected to the non-transitory computer readable medium, wherein the processor is configured to execute the instructions for:
- specifying an operation of the autonomously acting robot, wherein the specifying the operation comprises changing behavioral characteristics of the autonomously acting robot in response to a determination that the autonomously acting robot is wearing clothing, and
- increasing sensitivity of the sensor in response to the determination that the autonomously acting robot is wearing clothing;
- a drive mechanism configured to execute the specified operation.
