A dialog confirmation unit in a vehicle communication device calculates the deceleration of a vehicle on the basis of vehicle speeds, when the vehicle speed at an operation start time and the vehicle speed at a time when a certain time has elapsed since the operation start time have been obtained by a vehicle information acquisition unit. Next, the dialog confirmation unit calculates a change in distance on the basis of distances when a distance information acquisition unit has obtained the distance between the vehicle and an object in front at the operation start time and the distance at the time when a certain time has elapsed since the operation start time. Next, the dialog confirmation unit selects a dialog that corresponds to the deceleration and the change in distance, from among a plurality of dialogs.

An information providing system includes: a memory unit configured to store an image data acquired by an imaging unit a robot in association with a position data and a time data acquired by an information acquisition portion; a data extraction portion configured to extract an image data corresponding to a time and a position instructed by the user from among the stored image data; and a display unit configured to display an image based on the extracted image data. The memory unit stores the image data acquired by the imaging unit of a first robot moving with a first user and the image data acquired by the imaging unit of a second robot moving with a second user. The data extraction portion extracts an image data corresponding to a time and a position instructed by the first user from among the image data acquired by the second robot stored in the memory unit when the image data corresponding to the time and the position instructed by the first user is not present among the image data acquired by the first robot stored in the memory unit.

When a vehicle information acquisition unit continuously acquires an On signal of a blinker switch, when the absolute value of a steering angle of a handle is 90&#xb0; or greater, and a vehicle speed is a threshold or greater, a dialogue confirmation unit of this vehicle communication device selects a dialogue that corresponds to the On signal, the steering angle, and the vehicle speed from dialogues of group A stored in a dialogue storage unit. Thereafter, when the steering angle or the vehicle speed changes, the dialogue confirmation unit selects the dialogue that corresponds to changes in the steering angle or the vehicle speed from among dialogues of group.

A service providing system including: a mobile robot configured to act in response to an instruction from a user through wireless communication and including a sensor having a capability corresponding to a human sensing capability to perceive an external world; a target identifying unit configured to identify whether an action target of the robot is a human being or another robot; an user apparatus control portion configured to output the signal detected by the sensor in a first manner when the action target is identified to be a human being and output the signal detected by the sensor in a second manner when the action target is identified to be the other robot; and a user apparatus configured to act in a manner perceivable by the user based on a output signal.

Service providing system, service providing method and management apparatus for service providing system

A robot control system, including: a mobile robot having a situation-detecting unit detecting surrounding situations; a user apparatus operating in a manner recognizable by a user based on signals detected by the situation-detecting unit; an action-detecting unit detecting a predetermined action of the user; a brain-activity-detecting unit detecting a brain activity of the user; and a robot-controlling unit controlling the robot. The user apparatus has a computing unit analyzing the brain activity of the user detected by the brain-activity-detecting unit to output a first-action instruction from the user to the robot. The robot controlling unit further controlling the robot in accordance with the first-action instruction output by the computing unit and controlling, when the predetermined action is detected by the action-detecting unit during operation of the user apparatus, the robot in accordance with a second-action instruction different from the first-action instruction output by the computing unit.
