To prompt generation of a new motion of a mobile body. The mobile body includes: a blending parameter setting section that sets a blending parameter; a motion generator that is configured to be able to generate a third motion by blending, into a predetermined first motion as a motion of the mobile body, a predetermined second motion as a motion of the mobile body different from the first motion with a reflection degree corresponding to the blending parameter set by the blending parameter setting section; and a motion controller that is configured to be able to reflect the third motion generated by the motion generator to a motion to be actually performed by the mobile body.

Mobile body, method of controlling mobile body, and information processing device

Provided is an information processing apparatus including a first dictionary that has registered a plurality of utterance expressions, a first voice recognition unit that executes a first voice recognition process using the first dictionary, and a dictionary update unit that updates utterance expressions to be registered to the first dictionary based on usage performance of utterance of a user, in which the dictionary update unit deletes an utterance expression having a low usage performance of utterance from the first dictionary or transfers the utterance expression to a second dictionary that has registered a plurality of utterance expressions not registered in the first dictionary.

Information processing apparatus and information processing method

Provided is an information processing apparatus including a control section that controls operations of operation bodies in accordance with a result of a voice recognition process. In accordance with a result of a voice recognition process that is based on a voice collected by one of the operation bodies or a voice recognition environment recognized from sensor information collected by one of the operation bodies, the control section controls an operation of another one of the operation bodies.

An information processing apparatus that includes a control unit controlling an action of an autonomous operation unit, and in which the control unit controls transition of plural states relating to speech recognition processing through the autonomous operation unit based on a detected trigger, and the states include a first active state in which an action of the autonomous operation unit is restricted, and a second active state in which the speech recognition processing is performed. An information processing method in which a processor controls an action of an autonomous operation unit, the controlling includes controlling transition of plural states relating to speech recognition processing through the autonomous operation unit based on a detected trigger, and the states include a first active state in which an action of the autonomous operation unit is restricted, and a second active state in which the speech recognition processing is performed.

Mobile devices, control systems and programs are disclosed. In one example, a mobile device performs different processing when an approaching object is a human. The mobile device includes a control unit that performs traveling control. It receives input detection information of a sensor on the mobile device and uses that to determine whether an approaching object is a human. In the case where the control unit determines that the object is a human, the mobile device stops after setting an article mounted in the mobile device in a direction of being visible to the human. In the case where the control unit determines that the object is not a human, the control unit stops or backs the mobile device or changes a traveling direction of the mobile device so as to avoid collision with the object.

Mobile device, mobile device control system, method, and program

A moving apparatus that performs control to stop the moving apparatus at a position close to a user and to rotate the moving apparatus at a stop position, thereby making it easy to take out a product carried on the apparatus. The moving apparatus includes a control unit that executes traveling control of the moving apparatus, an upper unit that has an article storage unit, and a lower unit that houses a drive unit, in which the control unit inputs detection information of a sensor, and executes control to stop the moving apparatus at a position close to a user and rotate the moving apparatus at a stop position on the basis of input sensor detection information. The control unit performs display control of a traveling route recognition display line indicating a traveling route of the moving apparatus.

Moving apparatus, information processing apparatus, and method

There is provided a moving apparatus which includes a control unit that executes traveling control of the moving apparatus, an upper unit that has an article storage unit, and a lower unit that houses the control unit and a drive unit. The upper unit has an upper sensor that detects an obstacle in surroundings at a position of at least one of an upper surface or a lower surface position, and the lower unit has a lower sensor that detects an obstacle in a proximity area of a traveling surface of the moving apparatus. The control unit inputs sensor detection information, detects an obstacle in surroundings of the moving apparatus, executes traveling control to avoid contact with the obstacle, and performs control to display a traveling route recognition display line that indicates a traveling route of the moving apparatus.

According to one embodiment, an estimation system includes a monocular imaging unit and processing circuitry. The monocular imaging unit acquires, at a time of capturing, an image and first data relating to an actual distance to an object captured in the image. The processing circuitry estimates a position of the imaging unit by using the image and the first data.
