Abstract
The robot device includes a spatial information recording unit where first spatial information about an area in which the movement of a robot device to be self-propelled with respect to a structure is supposed and which is associated with the structure is recorded, a spatial information acquisition section that is mounted on the robot device and acquires second spatial information about a peripheral area of the robot device with the movement of the robot device, and a spatial information updating unit that updates the first spatial information recorded in the spatial information recording unit with the second spatial information acquired by the spatial information acquisition section. The first spatial information recorded in the spatial information recording unit is used in a case in which the robot device is moved with respect to the structure.
