A robot includes heat-generating members such as an actuator in spaces surrounded by exterior members. A heat-transfer section transfers heat of the heat-generating members to the exterior members. A heat-transfer control section adjusts the amount of heat transfer between the heat-generating members and the exterior members by operating the heat-transfer section. The heat-transfer section has a thermally conductive member that can shift between a coupling position for thermally coupling the heat-generating members and the exterior members, and an interrupting position for interrupting thermal conduction between the heat-generating members and the exterior members.

Machine learning is applied to both 2D images from an infrared imager imaging laser reflections from an object and to the 3D depth map of the object that is generated using the 2D images and time of flight (TOF) information. In this way, the 3D depth map accuracy can be improved without increasing laser power or using high resolution imagers.

3D depth map

An information processing apparatus capable of simultaneously executing a reproduction function of content data and a communication function with an external apparatus includes a reproduction section configured to execute the reproduction function, a communication control section configured to execute the communication function using a communication section, an operation input allocation section configured to allocate an operation input from a first operation section to the reproduction function or the communication function, an operation input acquisition section configured to acquire an operation input from a second operation section, and a display control section configured to cause a display section to display information relating to the reproduction function or information relating to the communication function.

Information processing apparatus, information processing method and program

A sending receiving method for data, such as musical data, in which plural data stored in a first storage unit are retrieved based on the request information sent from a host side device. The retrieved data is sent to a terminal side device. The sent data is checked to see as to whether or not the sent data is data newly stored in the first storage unit. If the results of check indicate that the sent data is data newly stored in the first storage unit, the sent data is stored in a second storage unit of the terminal side device.

Data sending/receiving method and apparatus, data receiving apparatus and data sending apparatus

An information processing apparatus capable of simultaneously executing a reproduction function of content data and a communication function with an, external apparatus includes a reproduction section configured to execute the reproduction function, a communication control section configured to execute the communication function using a communication section, an operation input allocation section configured to allocate an operation input from a first operation section to the reproduction function or the communication function, an operation input acquisition section configured to acquire an operation input from a second operation section, and a display control section configured to cause a display section to display information relating to the reproduction function or information relating to the communication function.

A recording and reproducing apparatus has a communicating unit, a reading unit, a storing unit, a control unit, and an output unit. The communicating unit transmits and receives data to/from an information center in which a plurality of additional information have been stored. The reading unit reads out recorded data from a recording medium on which a plurality of data and index data of a plurality of data have been recorded. The data read out from the recording medium by the reading unit is stored in the storing unit. The control unit reads out the additional information corresponding to the recording medium from which the data is read out by the reading unit from the information center by the communicating unit and writes the read-out additional information into the storing unit as additional data of the recording medium which is read out by the reading unit. The output unit outputs the data stored in the storing unit and the additional data.

Recording and reproducing apparatus and terminal apparatus

To provide a reproduction apparatus able to easily select a desired content data based on an attribute of the content data by a simple operation from a user and a reproduction method for the same, wherein the reproduction apparatus having: a display displaying the item; a first operation unit instructing a switch of the attribute; a second function unit instructing a selection of a predetermined item on the display; and a processing unit switching a first screen from a screen of a plurality of items so as to display a plurality of items when the first operation key is operated, and switching to a second screen displaying a plurality of item when the second operation key is operated when a plurality of item is displayed on the first screen.

Reproduction apparatus and reproduction method

Disclosed herein is an information processor including, a first function portion including communication means for executing processing relating to communication of data, and communication managing means for controlling the communication means and for managing information representing whether or not the communication means is executing the processing relating to the communication of the data, a second function portion different from the first function portion, instructing means for issuing an instruction to stop the first function portion, determing means provided in the second function portion for, when the instructing means issues the instruction to stop the first function portion, determing based on the information managed by the communication managing means whether or not the communication means is executing the communication processing, and stopping means provided in the second function portion for, when the determing means determines that the communication means is executing the communication processing, stopping the first function portion after the communication processing is completed.

Information processor, information processing method, program and recording medium

An electronic device including an image pick-up element and an image pick-up device including a recording and reproducing element are provided in which shutter sound is muted or decreased, so that the artificial electronic shutter sound is not mixed with audio signals when recording is performed and the shutter sound may not be reproduced at the time of reproduction. The shutter sound generated by the electric artificial shutter sound data unit and the shutter sound of the reverse phase stored in advance in the sound effect data unit are mixed to cancel each other after the occurrence of the electric shutter sound, and in the canceled state audio signals are recorded.

Image pick-up device including recording and reproducing capabilities

A recording and playback apparatus includes a recording and playback unit recording a signal on a storage medium and playing back the signal recorded on the storage medium, the recording and playback unit at least having a magnetic head; a temperature detector detecting a temperature; and a controller executing a test writing controlling process of controlling the recording and playback unit so that a test writing operation on the storage medium is executed according to a result of temperature detection by the temperature detector, executing a checking process of checking whether a signal has been correctly written by the test writing operation, and executing a recording controlling process of controlling a recording operation on the storage medium by the recording and playback unit according to a result of the checking in the checking process.
