1. A robot apparatus for executing a monitoring operation, comprising:
- an operation mode switching unit that switches an operation mode of the robot apparatus between a first operation mode and a second operation mode; and
a control unit that controls the operation of the robot apparatus, causes the robot apparatus to execute a first monitoring operation in the first operation mode, which is corresponded to a dynamic environment where a user is at home, and causes the robot apparatus to execute a second monitoring operation in the second operation mode, which is corresponded to a static environment where the user is not at home.

8. A robot apparatus for executing a monitoring operation, comprising:
-
a main body including an auto-movement mechanism;
a sensor that is provided on the main body and detects occurrence of abnormality in a house;
an operation mode selection unit that selects one of an at-home mode corresponding to a case where a user is at home and a not-at-home mode corresponding to a case where the user is not at home; and
a monitoring operation execution unit that executes, when the at-home mode is selected, a monitoring operation using the movement mechanism and the sensor at a first security level, and executes, when the not-at-home mode is selected, a monitoring operation using the movement mechanism and the sensor at a second security level that is higher than the first security level. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10)
