This robot is provided with: a motion control unit that selects a robot motion; and a drive mechanism for executing the motion selected by the motion control unit. The motion control unit includes a low-order control circuit that selects a reaction motion R, which is associated with a sensor in advance, when a sensor value SA which is a detection value of the sensor exceeds a reflex threshold value; and a high-order control circuit that changes action characteristics of the robot in accordance with a sensor value SD. The sensor value SA inputted as analog data is converted into digital data (sensor value SD) by the low-order control circuit, and supplied to the high-order control circuit.
