PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an area-dividing device, an area division program, an area division method and a communication robot which extracts an area that can be transmitted to humans. SOLUTION: A robot 10 includes a CPU 60, and the CPU 60 uses a grid map for extracting an area which is not in contact with an object, or extracting an area which is not in contact with not only the object but is also the pattern of a floor. The robot 10 selects one area corresponding to the request of a human being from among the extracted (divided) areas, and determines utterance content, and determines a gesture, according to the size of the selected area or positional relation with the selected area. Then, the robot 10 produces an utterance with relative language expressions set with respect to a directive or the specific object, and instructs the selected area to human being by executing a finger-pointing movement.
