Abstract: A robot apparatus having a plurality of component units is provided. The robot unit includes a control means for controlling the plurality of component units, a first component unit which is electrically connected to the control means, having a first unique information associated therewith concerning the first component unit, a second component unit having a second unique information associated therewith concerning the first component unit which replaces the first component, a storage means provided for storing the first unique information and the second unique information, means for generating new unique information based upon both the first unique information and the second unique information and means for writing the new unique information into the storage means.

Abstract: In a robot and its control method the behavior and motion models functioning as bases in generating behaviors and motions of the robot are transformed based on the input history from the outside and the history of its own behaviors and motions.

Abstract: Acceleration information, rotation angle information and rotation angular velocity information are detected by an acceleration sensor and a rotation angle sensor, and detected signals are stored into a storage section in time series. Specific information such as dispersion is calculated from the stored time series signals, and the state of the robot device is determined from the specific information. When it is detected as the state of the robot device that the robot device is lifted up, the movement of a predetermined movable part which acts to the outside is stopped.
