A device control apparatus includes at least one processor that executes a program stored in at least one memory. The at least one processor sets growth degree data representing a simulated growth degree of a device, acquires character data representing a simulated character of the device, acquires other data related to the device, the other data being different from the character data, selectively sets a first movement mode based on the character data and a second movement mode based on the other data as a movement mode of the device according to the set growth degree data, and controls a movement of the device according to the set movement mode.

Device control apparatus, device control method, and recording medium

A robot includes: a body part capable of contacting a placement surface; a head part connected to a front end of the body part to be rotatable about a first axis of rotation extending in a front-back direction of the body part and rotatable about a second axis of rotation extending in a width direction of the body part, and capable of contacting the placement surface; a drive unit which performs a rotation about the first axis of rotation and a rotation about the second axis of rotation independently of each other to drive the head part; and a processor which controls the drive unit to perform preparation control to rotate the head part about the second axis of rotation by a preparation angle and vibration control to alternately repeat forward rotation and reverse rotation of the head part about the first axis of rotation.

Robot, robot control method, and storage medium

The robot includes a storage unit and a control unit. The control unit acquires outside stimulus feature amounts that are feature amounts of an outside stimulus acting from outside, stores the acquired outside stimulus feature amounts in the storage unit as a history, compares outside stimulus feature amounts acquired at a certain timing with outside stimulus feature amounts stored in the storage unit to calculate a first similarity degree, and controls operations based on the calculated first similarity degree.

Robot, robot control method, and non-transitory computer-readable recording medium

A device control apparatus includes at least one processor executing a program stored in at least one memory. The at least one processor determines whether a predetermined condition related to a simulated growth degree of a device is satisfied, acquires external stimulus data representing an external stimulus externally applied to the device, changes and sets basic character data according to a first condition based on the acquired external stimulus data in a case where the predetermined condition is not satisfied, corrects the basic character data according to a second condition, different from the first condition and based on the acquired external stimulus data, to obtain character data in a case where the predetermined condition is satisfied, controls a movement of the device according to the basic character data in the case where the predetermined condition is not satisfied, and controls a movement of the device according to the character data obtained by the correction in the case where the predetermined condition is satisfied.

An apparatus control device includes: at least one processor; and at least one first memory that stores a program executed by the processor, in which the processor acquires input data based on at least one of acceleration and angular velocity generated by application of an external force to an apparatus, classifies a plurality of the acquired input data into a plurality of clusters by an unsupervised clustering method, acquires relationship data representing relationship between the acquired input data and the plurality of classified clusters, and controls movement of the apparatus based on the acquired relationship data.

Apparatus control device, apparatus, apparatus control method, and storage medium

A robot includes a body contactable with a placement surface, a head, at least one actuator, and at least one processor. The head is contactable with the placement surface, and is coupled to a front end of the body so as to be rotatable about a first rotational axis extending in a front-rear direction of the body and rotatable about a second rotational axis extending in a width direction of the body. The at least one actuator turns the head by causing the head to make a turn about the first rotational axis and a turn about the second rotational axis independently of each other. The at least one processor repeats a first turn control scheme and a second turn control scheme in sequence.
