ABSTRACT:
A robot for freely moving about in an environment where there is an obstacle. The robot includes a communication section transmitting by wireless an image taken by a camera to a base station, and via the base station to a communication terminal making a radio communication with the base station, and receiving by wireless movement target position information specified on the image by an operation of the communication terminal via the base station, and a motion control section that moves the robot up to a movement target position specified by the movement target position information acquired in the communication section.
