Original Abstract Submitted
A processor determines, by referring to a memory, which of a plurality of behavior types a behavior type executed by a robot when a first sensor detects an obstacle is; determines a type of the obstacle detected by the first sensor; decides whether first behavior for increasing opportunities of interaction with the user or second behavior for handling the obstacle is performed, based on the behavior type executed by the robot when the first sensor detects the obstacle and the type of the obstacle detected by the first sensor; and controls the robot to cause the robot to execute the decided behavior.
