Communication apparatus, communication method, and storage medium

An information processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present technology includes a classification unit and a generation unit. The classification unit classifies an object detected in a space on a basis of a predetermined criterion. The generation unit sets a priority for the object on a basis of a classification result by the classification unit, and generates position-related information regarding a position in the space on a basis of the set priority. Use of the position-related information makes it possible to improve the accuracy of autonomous movement control. This makes it possible to improve the accuracy of autonomous movement control.

Information processing apparatus and information processing method

When a communication is performed in a particular frequency channel included in a 6 GHz band, if a signal that is not according to the IEEE 802.11 series standard is detected in the 6 GHz band, control is performed such that a signal according to the IEEE 802.11 series standard is not allowed to be transmitted in the particular frequency channel.

Communication apparatus, control method, and program

The influence of multipath on the positioning calculation based on positioning signals transmitted from satellites is reduced. A self-position is estimated using a positioning calculation result based on a positioning signal transmitted from a satellite. Movement of a mobile body is controlled on the basis of the estimated self-position. A multipath reduction action signal is output when the mobile body is in a multipath environment. The mobile body is controlled so as to take a multipath reduction action when the mobile body is in a predetermined movement state and the multipath reduction action signal is output.

Mobile body control device and mobile body control method

A mobile object control device () includes a first detection unit (), a second detection unit (), and a stillness determination unit (). On the basis of a sensor mounted on a mobile object () that moves autonomously, the first detection unit () detects a movement state of the mobile object (). The second detection unit () detects at least one of cartographic information at a current location of the mobile object (), object information present in a periphery of the mobile object (), and operation information of a movable portion included in the mobile object (). The stillness determination unit () determines whether the mobile object () is in a static state on the basis of the movement state detected by the first detection unit () and the information detected by the second detection unit ().

Mobile object control device and mobile object control method

Provided is an information processing device that enables a virtual object to be displayed at an appropriate position in the real world. The information processing device includes a position estimation unit that estimates a current position in a first coordinate system, a display position setting unit that sets a display position of a virtual object in a third coordinate system on the basis of an environment database, virtual object information including the display position of the virtual object in a second coordinate system, and an observed image captured near the current position, a meta information generation unit that generates observation meta information, and an environment database management unit that compares observation data with environment data of the environment database to determine whether to add the observation data to the environment database.

Information processing device and information processing method to display a virtual object

There is provided an information processing apparatus including a controller that, when an autonomous mobile object estimates a self-position, determines which of a first estimation method using a result of sensing by a first sensor unit configured to sense internal world information in relation to the autonomous mobile object and a second estimation method using a result of sensing by a second sensor unit configured to sense external world information in relation to the autonomous mobile object is used by the autonomous mobile object based on whether a state of the autonomous mobile object is a stopped state.

Provided are a control device, a control method, and a mobile object that enable distinction among positions and accurate estimation of a self-position even in an environment where different positions include many similar feature amounts in surroundings and are thus likely to be erroneously detected as being the same position. In accordance with a place corresponding to the self-position, an image feature amount is extracted from an image of surroundings to which a mask has been added on the basis of a place-related non-feature portion representing an area, in the image of the surroundings, that is not useful for identifying the self-position, and the image feature amount and positional information regarding the self-position are associated with each other and registered in a position/image feature amount database (DB).
