1. A robot control system comprising:
a posture estimating section that acquires image data in which an image of a person is recorded, and estimates a posture of the person;
a mode setting section that sets an operation mode; and
a motion control section that controls a motion of a robot device on a basis of an estimation result of the posture estimating section,
wherein the motion control section includes:
a synchronization control section that synchronizes a posture of the robot device with the posture of the person estimated by the posture estimating section,
a correction processing section that corrects a synchronized motion of the robot device made by the synchronization control section and according to the set operation mode, and
the mode setting section sets the operation mode according to an object that is grasped by the robot device such that the correction processing section corrects the synchronized motion of the robot, including the posture of the robot device in accordance with the object that is mounted to the robot device, and
wherein the correction processing section modifies the posture of the robot device differently depending upon whether the object is formed of: (i) a single rigid section; or (ii) at least two rigid sections coupled together by a flexible joint.
