1. An autonomous device behaving adaptively to a user, comprises:

  • an input unit which receives signals of a user'"'"'s command and other external signals;

    a pseudo-personality-forming unit which establishes each element of predesignated pseudo-personality elements based on one or more of the other external signals accumulated for a predetermined period of time to form pseudo-personality, said pseudo-personality-forming unit storing a predesignated relationship between said pseudo-personality elements and said accumulated external signals;

    a pseudo-emotion-forming unit which establishes each element of predesignated pseudo-emotion elements based on at least one predesignated signal of the other external signals and the pseudo-personality to form pseudo-emotions, said pseudo-emotion-forming unit storing a predesignated relationship between said pseudo-emotion elements, said external signals, and said pseudo-personality;

    an autonomous behavior-establishing unit which selects a pattern of autonomous behavior based on at least one predesignated signal of the other external signals, the pseudo-personality, and the pseudo-emotions, said autonomous behavior-forming unit storing a predesignated relationship between patterns of autonomous behavior, said external signals, said pseudo-personality, and said pseudo-emotions;

    a commanded behavior-establishing unit which constitutes a pattern of commanded behavior in accordance with the user'"'"'s command signals;

    a behavior control unit which controls behavior by combining the selected pattern of autonomous behavior and the constituted pattern of commanded behavior; and

    an output device which outputs the controlled behavior.
