Abstract
A motion deciding means is provided to decide a motion based on transmitted information which is transmitted from another robot apparatus, so that it is possible to realize a robot apparatus which operates in cooperation with other robot apparatuses regardless of operator's instructions. Thus, such robot apparatuses can constitute a group of robot apparatuses which autonomously move in cooperation.
Claims9
A robot apparatus adapted to operate in cooperation with other robot apparatuses each other, comprising:
- input means for receiving and inputting transmitted information transmitted from said another robot apparatus;
- motion decision means, which extracts, from said transmitted information, discrimination information for specifying a robot apparatus targeted for transmission and communication information to be communicated to said robot apparatus targeted for transmission, and which compares said discrimination information with discrimination information which is allocated to said robot apparatus in advance, to decide its motion on the basis of the comparison result and said communication information;
- and
- operating means for operating in accordance with the motion decided by said motion decision means.
A robot apparatus adapted to operate in cooperation with other robot apparatuses each other, comprising:
- input means for receiving and inputting transmitted information transmitted from said another robot apparatus;
- motion decision means for deciding the next motion on the basis of said transmitted information in advance, and for generating and outputting, when a timing signal is inputted through said input means, a driving signal in synchronism with said timing signal to be inputted;
- and
- operating means for operating on the basis of said driving signal at timing when said driving signal is outputted from said motion decision means.
A robot apparatus adapted to operate in cooperation with other robot apparatuses each other, comprising:
- input means for receiving and inputting transmitted information transmitted from said another robot apparatus;
- motion decision means to which a role, and a feelings and action pattern of said robot apparatus in connection with said other robot apparatuses are set in advance, for deciding a motion on the basis of said role of said robot apparatus and said transmitted information;
- and
- operating means for operating in accordance with the motion decided by said motion decision means.
A robot apparatus adapted to operate in cooperation with other robot apparatuses each other, comprising:
- input means for receiving and inputting transmitted information transmitted from said another robot apparatus;
- motion deciding means to which a role and feelings and action patterns of said robot apparatus in connection with said other robot apparatuses are set in advance, for deciding feelings and action patterns of said robot apparatus, and also a motion based on said transmitted information;
- and
- operating means for operating in accordance with the motion decided by said motion deciding means.
