<p>The object of the present invention is to provide a robot capable of traveling while constantly directing a predetermined part of the main body (body) to a detection target. In a guide robot 1 of the present invention, a main body 10 is jointed to a traveling unit 11 so that relative rotation is possible between the main body 10 and the traveling unit 11. Based on position information of a detection target detected by a position detection sensor 21, a control device controls, while the traveling unit 11 is traveling, a body drive motor so that a front surface of the main body 10 constantly faces the detection target and rotates the main body 10 relative to the traveling unit 11. Accordingly, a CCD camera 22, a microphone 23, a speaker 24, display 20 or the like provided on the front surface of the main body 10 constantly face the detection target. Thus, the guide robot 1 is able to reliably communicate with the detection target even during traveling, through mutual transmission of information between the guide robot 1 and the detection target.</p> |
