Robot
First Claim
1. A robot capable of freely advancing, retreating and rotating, comprising:
- a sensor that senses the existence of an obstacle hampering the advancement of the robot; and
a motion control section that performs an obstacle avoidance movement in which the robot retreats to a position where the robot is freely rotatable by avoiding the obstacle when the sensor senses the existence of the obstacle during the advancement of the robot.

Abstract
The present invention aims to provide a robot having the structure suitable for freely moving about in the environment where there is an obstacle within the house, for example. The robot includes a communication section transmitting by wireless an image taken by the camera to a base station, and via the base station to a communication terminal making the radio communication with the base station, and receiving by wireless the movement target position information specified on the image by an operation of the communication terminal via the base station, and a motion control section that moves the robot up to a movement target position specified by the movement target position information acquired in the communication section.

4. A robot capable of freely advancing, retreating and rotating, comprising:
-
a sensor that senses whether or not a front obstacle is an obstacle having a predetermined height or less that the robot can get over, or an obstacle having more than the predetermined height that the robot can not get over; and
a motion control section that controls the robot to continuously advance to get over the obstacle if the height of the obstacle sensed by the sensor is the predetermined height or less during the advancement, or to perform an obstacle avoidance movement including at least one of the retreat and rotation, if the height of the obstacle sensed by the sensor is more than the predetermined height. - View Dependent Claims (5, 6)
