a head portion coupled to a trunk;
a first sensor equipped with the head portion;
a second sensor equipped with the trunk;
four leg portions on a front left, a front right, a rear left, and a rear right coupled to the trunk;
a first rotatable joint portion that tilts the head portion in a front-rear direction, wherein at least one of the leg portions includes a first arm member coupled to the trunk, a second rotatable joint portion coupled to the first arm member, a second arm member coupled to the first arm member, and a third rotatable joint portion coupled to the second arm member;
circuitry configured to operate the robot device in response to information from the first sensor or the second sensor; and
