Embodiment Construction

[0042] figure 1 (a) is a front appearance view of the robot 100 . figure 1 (b) is a side external view of the robot 100 .

[0043] The robot 100 in the present embodiment is a behavior-autonomous robot that determines behavior and behavior (gesture) based on the external environment and internal state. The external environment is recognized by various sensors such as cameras and thermosensors. The internal state is quantified into various parameters representing the emotion of the robot 100 . These will be described later.

[0044] The robot 100 of this embodiment presupposes that the robot 100 acts in the house, for example, takes the house of the host as the action range. Hereinafter, a person related to the robot 100 is referred to as a "user", and a user who is a member of the family to which the robot 100 belongs is referred to as a "master".

[0045] The main body 104 of the robot 100 has a rounded shape as a whole, and is formed of a soft and elastic material such ...

Abstract

A robot has a prong (112) (holding part (244)). A body of the robot includes a movement assessment part for determining a movement direction, a drive mechanism for executing a determined movement, a power source for supplying electric power to the drive mechanism, and a blocking mechanism for blocking the supply of electric power from the power source when the prong (112) (holding part (244)) is drawn out. When the prong (112) is drawn out, a spring terminal (150) and an electroconductive body (152) are not in contact and a power source wire (130) is physically disconnected, and the robot is therefore in an emergency stop state.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a robot that autonomously performs behavior selection according to internal state or external environment. Background technique [0002] Although robot technology has developed rapidly in recent years, the sense of existence of companions such as pets has not yet been realized. This is because we don't think robots have free will. By observing the behavior of pets that can only be interpreted as having free will, people can feel the existence of pets' free will, resonate with pets and be comforted by pets. [0003] Therefore, if it is a robot that can simulate human / biological behavior, in other words, if it is a robot that can independently choose human / biological behavior, it will definitely greatly increase the resonance for robots. [0004] On the other hand, no matter how "biological" a robot is, as long as it is a machine, it needs to have safety measures. One of the safety measures is the emergency stop functi...
