ROBOT DEVICE, ROBOT DEVICE ACTION CONTROL METHOD, EXTERNAL FORCE DETECTING DEVICE AND EXTERNAL FORCE DETECTING METHOD

摘要

A robot device (1) comprising a voice recognition unit (101) for detecting information input concurrently with or almost concurrently with a contact detection by a contact detecting touch sensor, an associative storage unit (104) for storing an action caused by the contact and input information (voice signal) detected by the voice recognition unit (101) in association with each other, and an action generating unit (105) for controlling the robot device to perform an action hinted at by the storage unit (104) based on newly obtained input information (voice signal). A sensor processing unit (102) delivers an action according to a contact detection by the touch sensor, thereby enabling the learning of an action in association with an input signal such as a voice signal.
