Abstract
At first, a history of user use is stored and a next action is determined based on the history of use. Secondly, behavior of a robot apparatus is determined based on a cycle parameter which allows behavior of the robot apparatus to have a cyclic tendency for each prescribed time period and each part of the robot apparatus is driven based on the determined behavior, and thirdly, an external stimulus detected by a prescribed external stimulus detecting device is evaluated to judge whether it was a spur from a user, and the external stimulus is converted into prescribed numerical parameter for each spur by a user and behavior is determined based on the parameter, so as to drive each part of the robot apparatus based on the determined behavior.
