Abstract:
A first grounded portion is at least one of portions of an apparatus that are grounded, and vibrates in accordance with a vibration of at least a first vibration unit. A second grounded portion is at least one of the portions of the apparatus that are grounded, and vibrates in accordance with a vibration of at least a second vibration unit. Then, a first control signal for controlling the vibration of the first vibration unit and a second control signal for controlling the vibration of the second vibration unit are generated, whereby, in a state where the apparatus is on a certain surface, the apparatus moves on the certain surface by a vibration of the first grounded portion grounded on the certain surface and/or a vibration of the second grounded portion grounded on the certain surface.

Claim (Index 17):
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored therein an apparatus movement control program executed by a computer included in a control apparatus for controlling a movement of an apparatus comprising a first vibration unit, a second vibration unit a certain distance away from the first vibration unit, and an image capturing unit configured to capture a portion around the apparatus, the apparatus movement control program causing the computer to execute:\n generating a first control signal for controlling a vibration of the first vibration unit, thereby vibrating at least the first vibration unit, thereby vibrating a first grounded portion which is at least one of portions of the apparatus that are grounded, thereby moving the apparatus on a certain surface; and generating a second control signal for controlling a vibration of the second vibration unit, thereby vibrating at least the second vibration unit, thereby vibrating a second grounded portion which is at least one of the portions of the apparatus that are grounded, thereby moving the apparatus on the certain surface, wherein in the generation of the first control signal, based on a captured image captured by the image capturing unit, the first control signal is generated, and in the generation of the second control signal, based on a captured image captured by the image capturing unit, the second control signal is generated.
