Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the problems of the need for a complex hardware to specify the position of a robot and to confine it and the need for large-scale rewriting of a program, training, etc., to carry the robot and use it. SOLUTION: A system for specifying position of robot and confining the robot comprises a boundary signal transmitter 30 which can be carried for transmitting boundary signals 42, mainly along an axis defining the boundary and a moving robot 20, the moving robot 20 comprises a rotating means at least in one direction, a boundary signal detecting means and a control unit for controlling the rotating means. The rotating means, after detecting the boundary signals 42, executes an algorithm for avoiding the boundary signals 42, and the algorithm has a step of rotating the robot, until the boundary signals 42 no longer is detected.
