Robot apparatus and control method therefor, and robot character discriminating method
First Claim
1. A robot apparatus comprising:
- memory means for storing behavioral models; and
action generating means for generating action by the use of partial or full state space of said behavioral model, and wherein said action generating means changes said state space to be used for said action generation, of said behavioral models while expanding or reducing said state space.

Abstract
In a robot apparatus and a control method therefor, firstly, partial or whole state space of a behavioral model is expanded or reduced, secondly, transition to a predetermined node in the behavioral model is described as transition to a virtual node and a node group to be allotted to the virtual node is sequentially changed, thirdly, the number of emotions and/or desires which are used for generating actions is gradually increased, and fourthly, an environment is evaluated to update each sensitivity corresponding to each emotion and desire, on the basis of the evaluated. In the robot apparatus and the character discriminating method for the robot apparatus, a pet robot is provided with: detecting means for detecting outputs from other pet robots; character discriminating means for discriminating characters of the pet robots on the basis of the result detected by the detecting means; and character changing means for changing the character on the basis of the result judged by the character discriminating means.
