Original Abstract Submitted

The present disclosure provides a robot control device including a detection section that detects an external force applied to a movable part of a robot, on the basis of a parameter obtained from a joint driving the movable part, and a driving control section that controls an interaction of the robot, according to the detected external force. With this configuration, in a case where a user touches the robot, the robot can perform an interaction according to the touch.
