Abstract:
1. An information communication system for use in a robot which has a movable portion, comprising a transmitting device and a receiving device: the transmitting device including: at least one sensor provide at the movable portion, which generates a sensor signal; a signal processing unit which converts brightness signal which corresponds to an output level of the sensor signal, and color signal used for identifying the sensor; and a light emitting unit which emits an optical signal having the color signal and the brightness signal, respectively, and a reference optical signal, the receiving device including: an imaging unit which images the optical signal and the reference optical signal emitted by the transmitting device; an image processing unit which extracts the color signal and the brightness signal from image data generated by the imaging unit; and an analyzing unit which analyzes the color signal and the brightness signal to output an information for identifying the sensor and the output level of the sensor signal.
