ROBOT DEVICE, METHOD OF CONTROLLING ROBOT DEVICE, AND PROGRAM
First Claim
1. A robot device, comprising:
- an instruction acquisition unit that acquires an order for encouraging a robot device to establish joint attention on a target from a user;
a position/posture estimation unit that estimates a position and posture of an optical indication device, which is operated by the user to indicate the target by irradiation of a beam, in response to acquisition of the order; and
a target specifying unit that specifies a direction of the target indicated by irradiation of the beam based on an estimation result of the position and posture and specifies the target on an environment map representing a surrounding environment based on a specifying result of the direction.
