Summary:To provide a projection-type robot for communicating with a user, which avoids unnecessary power usage when the robot is not in use, and makes its expressions during communication more understandable for the user.SOLUTION: A robot (100) includes a body surface member (1), a projector (2), a sensor (3), and a controller (4). The controller (4) executes an existence determination process to determine whether a user exists or not within a predetermined region on the basis of external information acquired through the sensor (3), and a power control process to control power supply to a backlight (21) of the projector (2) if it has been determined that the user does not exist within the predetermined region.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】ユーザとコミュニケーションをとるプロジェクション型のロボットにおいて、使われていないときの消費電力が無駄にならないようにするとともに、コミュニケーションの際の表現をユーザに伝わりやすくする。【解決手段】ロボット（１００）は、体表部材（１）と、プロジェクタ（２）と、センサ（３）と、制御部（４）と、を備え、制御部（４）は、センサ（３）が取得した外界の情報に基づいて、所定領域内にユーザが存在するか否かを判断する存在判断処理と、所定領域内にユーザが存在しないと判断した場合、プロジェクタ（２）のバックライト（２１）への電力供給を調節する電力調節処理と、を実行する。【選択図】図１
