1. A signal processing device for a moving apparatus, the signal processing device comprising:
- circuitry configured todetermine whether there is a foreign object on an image capturing device by comparing a first image captured by the image capturing device with a reference image captured at a position different from a position at which the first image is captured, whereininformation indicating there is the foreign object is used to control performance of a cleaning work on the image capturing device.

Abstract
Provided is an excellent robot device capable of preferably detecting difference between dirt and a scratch on a lens of a camera and difference between dirt and a scratch on a hand. A robot device detects a site in which there is the dirt or the scratch using an image of the hand taken by a camera as a reference image. Further, this determines whether the detected dirt or scratch is due to the lens of the camera or the hand by moving the hand. The robot device performs cleaning work assuming that the dirt is detected, and then this detects the difference between the dirt and the scratch depending on whether the dirt is removed.
