A skin application structure for bodies that gives a sense of closeness to human, does not cause damage to the surrounding environment, is easily maintained, and does not exert any load to the movable portion is provided. A flexible skin is detachably applied on the surface of the casings of the body including movable portions and immovable portions.

The invention involves a fuzzy inference development system which prepares, automatically, an inference engine module file and a knowledge (i.e., rules and membership functions) data file which are optimized for the system (the CPU or equivalent) which the user intends to use and for the knowledge established by the user. The user inputs the required specifications and knowledge data via a user interface. The characteristic parameters (number of rules, number of types of input and output variables, etc.) are extracted from the knowledge data. A number of inference engine modules are stored, prior to the use of the device, in an inference engine library. The inference engine module, which is both optimal for the required specifications which have been input and for the parameters which have been extracted, is selected from the modules in the library by means of a fuzzy inference performed in an inference engine selection unit. When the selected module has been compiled by compilers, it is outputted to the user.

A remote control card having a temperature sensor for detecting and measuring an ambient temperature, an inputter for setting a desired temperature, a transmitter to transmit a temperature signal from the temperature sensor and a temperature signal set by the inputter to a remote place through its transmission and reception antenna, an instruction signal generator for generating an instruction signal for automatic adjustment of wind direction, wind velocity or temperature when the difference between the ambient temperature and a predetermined reference temperature, or between the set temperature and reference temperature exceeds a predetermined value, and a display for indicating the ambient temperature measured by the temperature sensor, the temperature set by the inputter, or a temperature inputted from an external signal transmitter and receiver. There is also a controller for use with the above card.
