Abstract: A robot procurement apparatus stores a deficient or surplus number of robots in each of service areas where robots provide services and performs a procurement process of determining a procurement target robot to a dispatch destination service area that is the service area to which the robot is to be dispatched based on the deficient or surplus number of robots in the dispatch destination service area and the deficient or surplus number of robots in any service area other than the dispatch destination service area. The robot procurement apparatus sets the deficient or surplus number of robots in each of the service areas based on load of the robot in the service area.

Abstract: A robot control system controlling a robot executing a personal service includes: a storage unit configured to store therein in advance trigger action information for which a task to be executed by the robot is formed by a series of actions and the actions and trigger conditions for respectively starting the actions are specified; a trigger determination unit configured to determine whether a trigger condition of the action is satisfied; an action execution unit configured to execute the action; and a task execution unit configured to sequentially select an action specified in the trigger action information of the task to be executed by the robot, cause the trigger determination unit to determine whether a trigger condition of the selected action is satisfied, and cause the action execution unit to execute the action when the trigger condition is satisfied.
