Abstract
In an apparatus for controlling a mobile robot having movement mechanisms and work mechanisms both connected to a body, a battery connectable to an external power supply through a charging connector, actuators powered by the battery to drive the mechanisms, and a controller for controlling an action of the movement mechanisms and the work mechanisms through the actuators, the controller comprises a connector connection determiner to determine whether the charging connector is connected to the external power supply and an action restrictor to restrict one of the actions of the movement mechanisms and the work mechanisms performed through the actuators when the external power supply is determined to be connected.
