Abstract: Provided is an excellent robot device capable of preferably detecting difference between dirt and a scratch on a lens of a camera and difference between dirt and a scratch on a hand. A robot device detects a site in which there is the dirt or the scratch using an image of the hand taken by a camera as a reference image. Further, this determines whether the detected dirt or scratch is due to the lens of the camera or the hand by moving the hand. The robot device performs cleaning work assuming that the dirt is detected, and then this detects the difference between the dirt and the scratch depending on whether the dirt is removed.

Abstract: A cap opening and closing structure is configured such that a surface of an inlet damper in a rotation axis direction and a side surface of a first supporting unit keep facing each other while the cap rotates. The surface is provided with a convex portion, and the side surface is provided with a concave portion, and the convex portion and the concave portion are engaged with each other in an open position. An inlet damper spring biases the convex portion so as to engage with the concave portion in the open position and to contact the facing side surface in a non-engagement state between the convex portion and the concave portion. Two inclined surfaces of the convex portion facing each other in a rotation direction contact respective ends of the concave portion in the open position.
