An information processing apparatus includes a processor that acquires measurement information measured by a device put on a task performer; detects a predetermined operation in the measurement information; extracts feature vectors from an operation section in which the predetermined operation has been detected; divides the feature vectors into clusters by division methods; obtains ratios at which the feature vectors are classified into the respective clusters in a predetermined time; performs learning by using the ratios as an input and using, as an output label, information indicating whether the task performer performs a predetermined task in the predetermined time; generates a task estimation model by determining weighting for the clusters based on a result of the learning; and estimates, by using the task estimation model, whether the task performer is in a process of performing the predetermined task.

Task estimation method and information processing apparatus

An information providing method includes: measuring a static object three-dimensionally in an environment, by a processor; sequentially measuring a position of a dynamic object in the environment, by the processor; transmitting measurement data of the static object measured to a predetermined information processing apparatus through a communication network; transmitting measurement data of the dynamic object measured to the information processing apparatus through a communication network; receiving support data rem the information processing apparatus based on an environment grasping image that is generated from the measurement data, of the static object and the measurement data of the dynamic object by the information processing apparatus; and presenting the received support data to the environment at predetermined timing, by the processor.

An information reading system includes a passive-type IC tag that identifies a device installed on side of an environment, a tag reader that reads identification information of the passive-type IC tag, a sensor unit that detects a touch operation performed with respect to the passive-type IC tag, and a reading control unit that, when the sensor unit detects a touch operation, activates the tag reader and controls timing of reading the passive-type IC tag.

Information reading system, reading control device, reading control method, and recording medium

A robot for freely moving about in an environment where there is an obstacle. The robot includes a communication section transmitting by wireless an image taken by a camera to a base station, and via the base station to a communication terminal making a radio communication with the base station, and receiving by wireless movement target position information specified on the image by an operation of the communication terminal via the base station, and a motion control section that moves the robot up to a movement target position specified by the movement target position information acquired in the communication section.

Robot

A remotely controlled robot comprises a unit storing the layout plan of a building, a unit receiving a position remotely designated in the layout plan from a remote location and a unit controlling the travel of the robot to the designated position. A self-position identification method is implemented by a robot with a camera whose shooting direction can be changed. The robot takes in advance a panoramic picture of a room where the robot may travel, generates a reference picture by extracting a plurality of block pictures from the panoramic picture and identifies a room where the robot is located, by applying correlation and DP matching, using both a picture taken in the room where the robot is located and the reference picture.

Remote-controlled robot and robot self-position identification method

A system for and a method of recognizing and tracking a target mark with a video camera is disclosed. The system includes a target mark (10) disposed on an object (1) and composed of a black circle and a white triangle mounted centrally on the black circle and three-dimensionally shifted from the black circle, a video camera (20) for imaging the target mark (10), a robot (30) supporting the video camera (20) and movable in directions with six degrees of freedom, an image processor (40) for processing image data of the target mark which is produced by the video camera (20), a shift calculating unit (50) for detecting a shift of the target mark (10) from projected histogram information of the target mark (10) which is produced by the image processor (40), and a robot controller (60) for controlling movement of the robot depending on the shift to enable the video camera (20) to track the target mark (10). The system is capable of tracking the target mark (20) attached to the object (1) on a real-time basis. Mark recognizing apparatus capable of accurately recognizing target marks of other shapes is also disclosed.
