    摘要: A robot apparatus is provided. A CPU 15 determines an output of a feeling model based on signals supplied from a touch sensor 20. The CPU 15 also deciphers whether or not an output value of the feeling model exceeds a pre-set threshold value. If the CPU finds that the output value exceeds the pre-set threshold value, it verifies whether or not there is any vacant area in a memory card 13. If the CPU finds that there is any vacant area in a memory card 13, it causes the picture data captured from the CCD video camera 11 to be stored in the vacant area in the memory card 13. At this time, the CPU 15 causes the time and date data and the feeling parameter in the memory card 13 in association with the picture data. The CPU 15 also re-arrays the picture data stored in the memory card 13 in the sequence of the decreasing magnitude of the feeling model output.

    摘要: A sensor device according to the present invention has a detection mode for detecting an object W, a first setting mode for changing the output duration of an output signal, and a second setting mode for changing a light-emission period of light emitted to the object W. These modes are switchable by a mode selector switch 12. If a rotary control knob 15 is operated in the detection mode, a CPU 30 changes a setting of a threshold value in response to the operation of the rotary control knob 15 and displays the changed setting of the threshold value on a digital indicator 20. This makes it possible to accurately change settings through relatively simple operations. The rate of change may correspond to the speed of operation of the knob.

    摘要: A robot (1) is provided which includes a situated behaviors layer (SBL) (58). This SBL (58) is formed in the form of a tree structure in which a plurality of schemata (behavior modules) is connected hierarchically in such a matter that the schemata are highly independent of each other for each of them to behave uniquely. A patent schema can define a pattern in which child schemata are connected, such as an OR type pattern in which the child schemata are caused to behave uniquely, AND type pattern in which the plurality of child schemata are caused to behave simultaneously or a SEQUENCE type pattern indicating a sequence in which the plurality of child schemata should behave, thereby permitting to select a behavior pattern of the robot (1). Also, a new child schema can additionally be included in the SBL (58) without having to rewrite the schemata connection in the tree structure, whereby a new behavior or function can be added to the robot (1). Namely, the plurality of behavior modules permits to enable the robot (1) to show a complicated behavior and have units thereof recombined.

    摘要: In a robot device, an action selecting/control system (100) includes a plurality of elementary action modules each of which outputs an action when selected, an activation level calculation unit (120) to calculate an activation level AL of each elementary action on the basis of information from an internal-state manager (91) and external-stimulus recognition unit (80) and with reference to a data base, and an action selector (130) to select an elementary action whose activation level AL is highest as an action to be implemented. Each action is associated with a predetermined internal state and external stimulus. The activation level calculation unit (120) calculates an activation level AL of each action on the basis of a predicted satisfaction0level variation based on the level of an instinct for an action corresponding to an input internal state and a predicted internal-state variation predictable based on an input external stimulus.
