The present invention aims to provide an autonomous moving robot capable
of visibly showing the human an initial check result for a sound input
means in the initial stage after the robot device is turned on and
activated, and whether or not the input sound was normally recognized.
The robot has ears 9a, 9b respectively comprising microphones 10a, 10b
for external sound input, and LED displays 11a, 11b with a plurality of
luminescent portions around the respective microphones. The luminescent
portions of the LED displays 11a, 11b indicate the judgment of the
initial check on whether or not the ears 9a, 9b (the microphones 10a, 10b
and the LED displays 11a, 11b) are normally functioning when the robot is
turned on and activated, by means of the lighting states of the displays.
