PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a robot with "warmth" (temperature), which enables a user to feel the "body temperature" of the robot and to have a sense similar to one to touch an animal. SOLUTION: This robot (1) is provided with a heat source (61) for generating heat by performing electrical operations. Also, the robot (1) is installed with heat conduction means (70) including: a heat absorbing portion (71) for absorbing heat generated by the heat source (61); a plurality of heat dissipating portions (73) for dissipating heat to the exterior part of the robot (1); and heat conducting portions (72) for conducting heat from the heat absorbing portion (71) to the heat dissipating portions (73). The heat conduction means (72) is formed so that the cross-sectional area of the heat conduction means (72) is larger as the path length of the heat conduction means (72) from the heat absorbing portion (71) to the heat dissipating portions (73) is longer.
