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 9 a, 9 b respectively comprising microphones 10 a, 10 b for external sound input, and LED displays 11 a, 11 b with a plurality of luminescent portions around the respective microphones. The luminescent portions of the LED displays 11 a, 11 b indicate the judgment of the initial check on whether or not the ears 9 a, 9 b (the microphones 10 a, 10 b and the LED displays 11 a , 11 b) are normally functioning when the robot is turned on and activated, by means of the lighting states of the displays.
