An environment identifying unit identifies an environment. The environment identifying unit is composed of an ultrasound sensor (US), an infrared sensor (IR) and a luminous detector (LD). A controlling unit controls the robot and selection of determined actions. The controlling unit includes a video projector and control elements. The control elements are selected from a pointer, a remote control, a vocal control, a movement detector, a tactile surface, and a button assembly. An independent claim is also included for computer program data comprising data for configuring a robot.
