Abstract
Firstly, a authenticating pattern is disposed on a cover and an authenticating device is disposed in a robot apparatus for authenticating the cover on the basis of the authenticating pattern of the fitted cover. Secondary, an information holding device for holding inherent information is disposed in the cover and a reading device for reading out the inherent information from the information holding device is disposed in the robot apparatus. Thirdly, a function of detecting an amount of influence due to the cover and changing manifesting patterns of motions as occasion demands on the basis of the detection result is disposed in the robot apparatus.

12. A robot system, comprising:
-
a robot apparatus which manifests predetermined motions;
a cover which is detachably fitted over said robot apparatus;
information holding means which is disposed in said cover for holding inherent information corresponding to said cover;
information detecting means disposed in said robot apparatus for detecting said inherent information held by said information holding means of the cover when said cover is fitted over said robot apparatus; and
control means for changing manifesting patterns of said motions as occasion demands on the basis of said inherent information detected. - View Dependent Claims (13)
said information holding means is a memory for recording said inherent information as data; and
said robot apparatus has data reading means for reading said data from said memory.

14. A cover detachably fitted over a robot apparatus manifesting predetermined motions, comprising:
-
information holding means for holding inherent information corresponding to said cover, and wherein said robot apparatus changes manifesting patterns of said motions as occasion demands on the basis of said inherent information held by said information holding means when the cover is fitted over said robot apparatus. - View Dependent Claims (15)
said information holding means is a memory which stores said inherent information as data; and
said robot apparatus reads out said data from said memory.
-
-
16. A robot apparatus manifesting predetermined motions, comprising:
-
information detecting means for detecting inherent information corresponding to a cover from said cover when said cover is detachably fitted; and
control means for changing manifesting patterns of said motions as occasion demands on the basis of said inherent information detected. - View Dependent Claims (17)
a memory for storing said inherent information as data, and wherein said robot apparatus has data reading means for reading out said data from said memory.
