Abstract: A moving device which can move autonomously in an environment is provided and includes an image capturing component, a processor, a moving component, and a signal transmitter. The image capturing component captures environmental feature information of the environment during moving process of the moving device. The processor identifies a first location of at least one electronic apparatus in the environment according to the environmental feature information and predetermined feature information corresponding to the at least one electronic apparatus and determines a second location corresponding to the first location according to a remote signal. The moving component causes the moving device to move to the second location. The signal transmitter controlled by the processor. The signal transmitter sends a first signal from the second location to the at least one electronic apparatus to control the operation of the at least one electronic apparatus.
