The robot arm and the imaging apparatus are communicably connected to the remote controller. The remote controller controls the robot arm based on an image received from the imaging apparatus.

Remote control system

This control device has: a user information acquisition unit which acquires first user posture information that indicates the posture of a first user operating a robot; a pre-change robot information acquisition unit which, on the basis of the first user posture information, acquires pre-change posture information, which indicates the posture of the robot before the posture of the robot is changed; and a determination unit which determines, as the posture of the robot, a target posture, which is different from the posture of the first user, on the basis of the pre-change posture information and the first user posture information that is acquired by the user information acquisition unit at the time when the robot took the pre-change posture indicated by the pre-change posture information.

Control device, robot control method, and robot control system

According to the present invention, a terminal device has: a transmission unit which transmits, to a robot, operator state information indicating the state of a user operating the robot; a receiving unit which receives, from the robot, robot state information indicating the state of the robot; a sensation imparting unit which imparts a predetermined sensation to the user; and a control unit which, when a delay time required for the receiving unit to receive the robot state information after the transmission unit transmits the operator state information is no longer than a predetermined time, controls the sensation imparting unit so as to impart a sensation based on the robot state information to the user, and when the delay time is longer than the predetermined time, controls the sensation imparting unit to impart, to the user, a sensation based on virtual state information that indicates an estimated robot state.

Sensation imparting device, robot control system, and robot control method

An information processing device including a mode control unit that determines a replay mode from replay mode candidates including a user dependent mode where output and replay are performed dependently on a user's action and a user independent mode where output and replay are performed independently of the user's action, and a output control unit that controls output and replay of an image, based on the replay mode.

Information processing device and information processing method

The purpose is to provide a tactile information conversion device, a tactile information conversion method, and a tactile information conversion program, which are usable for general purposes by presenting or sensing an arbitrary tactile feeling. In order to provide tactile information to an output unit capable of outputting physical quantities including electricity, force, temperature, vibration, and/or time and space, at least two or more of the physical quantities are selected according to a tactile feeling to be presented, tactile information for presenting the predetermined tactile feeling is generated based on the physical quantities that have been selected, and the tactile information that has been generated is output to the output unit.

There is provided a signal processing apparatus that includes a control unit that executes, on a basis of a waveform signal generated in accordance with a motion of an attachment portion of a sensor attached to a tool or a body, effect processing for the waveform signal or another waveform signal, the waveform signal being output from the sensor.

Signal processing apparatus and signal processing method

A sound source localization position indicating a position where a sound source is localized is set, and a sound signal for localizing the sound source at the set sound source localization position is generated and output. Then, a vibration signal for, in conjunction with the sound source localization position, vibrating a vibrator for imparting a vibration to a user is generated and output.

Information processing system, information processing apparatus, storage medium having stored therein information processing program, and information processing method

There is provided a signal processing apparatus including: a control unit that executes, on a basis of a waveform signal generated in accordance with a motion of an attachment portion of a sensor attached to a tool or a body, effect processing for the waveform signal or another waveform signal, the waveform signal being output from the sensor. The signal processing apparatus performs presentation so that a body motion itself can be aurally felt.

Provided is a signal processing apparatus that can replicate, in a real space, an environment different from the real space by granting an acoustic characteristic different from that of the real space, to a sound released in the real space. There is provided a signal processing apparatus including a control unit configured to decide a predetermined acoustic characteristic for causing a user to hear a collected ambient sound of the user in a space having a different acoustic characteristic, in accordance with content being reproduced, or an action of a user, and to add the decided acoustic characteristic to the ambient sound.

The purpose is to provide a device, method and program for tactile information conversion, and an element arrangement structure for presenting a plurality of types of stimuli that are capable of presenting a plurality of types of stimuli at one point in a concentrated manner from different points. One of the features is to determine a first stimulation point at which a first type of tactile stimulus is generated or generate the first type of tactile stimulus at the first stimulation point via the output unit and output tactile information for generating a second type of tactile stimulus via the output unit to the output unit at a second stimulation point separated within a temporally and/or spatially predetermined threshold value from the first stimulation point of the first type of tactile stimulus that has been determined or generated by a first stimulation unit.

Tactile information conversion device, tactile information conversion method, tactile information conversion program, and element arrangement structure

Provided is a signal processing device including a control unit that performs a sound signal process on a waveform of a signal generated on a basis of movement of an object, and cause sound corresponding to a signal generated on a basis of the sound signal process to be output within a predetermined period of time. The signal processing device is capable of aurally-exaggerating movement of an object itself and providing the aurally-exaggerated movement of the object by performing a sound signal process on a waveform of a signal generated on the basis of the movement of the object.

To provide a control device and a control method capable of controlling display like a case in which a user performs his or her head movement although the user does not move his or her head. There is provided a control device including: an acquisition unit configured to acquire position attitude information regarding a position or an attitude of an object related to a user manipulation located at a different position from a head of a user; and a control unit configured to control an image visual field which is a range displayed as an image on a display device mounted on the head of the user based on the position attitude information.

Control device and control method

Sound pressure information indicated by a sound signal and belonging to a frequency range above an upper limit that enables at least a user to perceive a vibration is converted into sound pressure information belonging to a frequency range less than or equal to the upper limit or belonging to a low-frequency range, and a vibration signal is generated using the sound pressure information after the conversion. This makes it possible to generate a vibration signal.
