Abstract
A robot apparatus is provided. A CPUdetermines an output of a feeling model based on signals supplied from a touch sensor. The CPUalso deciphers whether or not an output value of the feeling model exceeds a pre-set threshold value. If the CPU finds that the output value exceeds the pre-set threshold value, it verifies whether or not there is any vacant area in a memory card. If the CPU finds that there is any vacant area in a memory card, it causes the picture data captured from the CCD video camerato be stored in the vacant area in the memory card. At this time, the CPUcauses the time and date data and the feeling parameter in the memory cardin association with the picture data. The CPUalso re-arrays the picture data stored in the memory cardin the sequence of the decreasing magnitude of the feeling model output.
