    Abstract: A device control apparatus includes a processor for controlling a device such as a pet robot. The processor determines whether a voltage of a battery of a device has dropped below a movement reference voltage. If the voltage of the battery has dropped below the movement reference voltage, the processor causes the device to transition to a power-off state. While the device is in the power-off state and during charging of the battery, the processor determines whether the voltage of the battery has reached or exceeded an activation reference voltage. In response to determining that the voltage of the charging battery has reached or exceeded the activation reference voltage, the processor causes the device to transition to a power-on state and control a first movement range of a functional unit of the device to be restricted. The activation reference voltage is higher than the movement reference voltage of the device, which is used to control a second movement range of the functional unit during charging the battery.

    Abstract: A robot acts autonomously and includes a first table, a second table, and a controller. The first table stores a growth parameter indicating a growth of the robot and data indicating behavior information specifying an action of the robot corresponding to the growth parameter in association with each other. The second table stores data indicating the behavior information and data indicating an action file defining the action of the robot in association with each other. The controller acquires the growth parameter and causes, based on data stored in the first table and data stored in the second table, the robot to perform an action corresponding to the acquired growth parameter.

    Abstract: A robot that imitates a living thing and is driven by a battery that is rechargeable, includes an operator for causing the robot to perform an operation imitating a living thing, and a controller. In a case where the battery changes from a powered state in which a power supply operation for charging is in progress to a non-powered state that is a state in which the power supply operation is stopped, the controller controls the operator with a control content that is determined in accordance with the remaining level of the battery at timing corresponding to the change.

    Abstract: A robot imitating a living thing and driven by a battery that is rechargeable, includes: an operator to perform an operation simulating a living thing; and a controller. The controller performs processing of causing the robot to perform a breathing operation that is an operation simulating breathing of a living thing at a predetermined cycle and processing of differentiating a control content of the operator between a charging breathing operation that is the breathing operation during charging of the battery and a non-charging breathing operation that is the breathing operation during non-charging of the battery.

    Abstract: A robot includes a coupler coupling a first part to a second part; a driver driving the coupler; a sound outputter that outputs a sound; and at least one processor. The at least one processor, upon detection of a predetermined trigger, controls at least one of the driver or the sound outputter so that the robot executes a first action set so that action content changes in accordance with pseudo-growth of the robot, and a second action set so that a change of the action content according to the pseudo-growth does not occur and also set so that the action content varies due to a difference in an individuality of the robot.

    Abstract: A device control apparatus includes at least one processor that executes a program stored in at least one memory. The at least one processor sets growth degree data representing a simulated growth degree of a device, acquires character data representing a simulated character of the device, acquires other data related to the device, the other data being different from the character data, selectively sets a first movement mode based on the character data and a second movement mode based on the other data as a movement mode of the device according to the set growth degree data, and controls a movement of the device according to the set movement mode.

    Abstract: A robot includes a body contactable with a placement surface, a head, at least one actuator, and at least one processor. The head is contactable with the placement surface, and is coupled to a front end of the body so as to be rotatable about a first rotational axis extending in a front-rear direction of the body and rotatable about a second rotational axis extending in a width direction of the body. The at least one actuator turns the head by causing the head to make a turn about the first rotational axis and a turn about the second rotational axis independently of each other. The at least one processor repeats a first turn control scheme and a second turn control scheme in sequence.

    Abstract: A robot imitating a living thing, includes a body, a head connected to a front end of the body, a movable portion for moving the head relative to the body, and a controller. In a state in which the body is placed on a mounting surface, the controller executes a first control that controls the movable portion to change a distance between the front end of the body and the mounting surface alternately between a first distance and a second distance by moving the head so that a state of the head pressing the mounting surface changes.
