First Claim
1. A mobile apparatus comprising:
- a signal detector configured to detect a signal;
a specifier configured to specify a location or direction in which the signal detected by the signal detector is given;
a movement controller configured to move the mobile apparatus to the location or direction specified by the specifier;
a determiner configured to determine whether the mobile apparatus is able to move to the location where the signal is given by the movement controller; and
a controller configured to perform predetermined control in a case where the determiner determines that the mobile apparatus is not able to move.

Abstract
A mobile apparatus according to the present embodiment includes a voice input unit configured to detect a signal from a user. In a case where the voice input unit detects a signal from the user and as a detection result of the signal from the user, it is determined that there is a signal from the user, the mobile apparatus performs sound source localization and specifies a location or direction in which the detected signal from the user is given. In a case where it is determined that the mobile apparatus is not able to move to the location where the signal from the user is given, a voice output unit configured to output a voice signal, a driving unit configured to move the mobile apparatus, and a light emitting unit configured to emit light performs predetermined control.
