A voice recognition part performs voice recognition on a voice data and generates an utterance text which is a text indicating an utterance content. A display processing part moves a position of a display text displayed on a display part, displays the utterance text as a display text in a free region generated by the movement, and fixes the display text in a section of which fixing of a display position is instructed according to an operation as a fixed text at a predetermined display position to display on the display part.

Conversation support device, conversation support system, conversation support method, and storage medium

A voice recognition part performs voice recognition on a voice data and generates a first text which is a text indicating an utterance content. A text acquisition part acquires a second text which is a text indicating an utterance content according to an operation. A display processing part moves a position of a display text displayed on a display part, displays a text of at least one of the first text and the second text as a display text in a free region generated by the movement, and when fixing of a display position of the second text is instructed according to an operation, fixes the second text as a fixed text at a predetermined display position and displays the second text on the display part.

The present invention provides an interactive device which allows quick utterance recognition results and sequential output thereof and which diminishes a recognition rate decrease even if user's utterance is divided by a short interval into frames for quick decision. The interactive device: sets a recognition section for voice recognition; performs voice recognition for the recognition section; when the voice recognition includes a key phrase, determines response actions corresponding thereto; and executes the response actions. The interactive device repeatedly updates the set recognition terminal point to a frame which is the predetermined time length ahead of the set recognition terminal point to set a plurality of recognition sections. The interactive device performs voice recognition for each recognition section.

A communication robot including: a situation change detection unit for detecting writing of information into a situation database; a rule detection unit for detecting, from a rule database, a rule corresponding to the situation indicated by the data stored in the situation database when the writing of information into the situation database is detected by the situation change detection unit; an action inducing parameter setting unit for setting the degree of interest of the detected rule to at least one of movable parts and an audio output unit independently in the situation database; a parameter changing unit for independently changing the degree of interest set for the at least one of the movable parts and the audio output unit; and a command unit for requesting the at least one of the movable parts and the audio output unit to execute the execution command indicated by the detected rule.

Communication robot

The control apparatus for a movable robot comprises: environment information acquisition means (such as video cameraand microphone); a current position detecting means (); a map storage (); a control parameter storage () for storing control parameters adjusted to different environments; and control means () for determining a current position of the robot on the map data based on a signal from the current position detecting means, retrieving control parameters suitable for the current position from the parameter storage, and controlling the environment information acquisition means or actuators for moving the robot by using the retrieved control parameters.

Robot device control based on environment and position of a movable robot

An autonomous action robot which can turn its line of sight to face a person who calls out, can recognize the face of a person, and can perform various actions in response to commands. First, a sound emitted from a person or other sound source is detected by a sound detector, and the direction of the sound source is specified based on the detected sound. Then, a robot head section is controlled, and the imaging direction of the robot head section is moved to face the specified direction of the sound source. Next, an image is captured in the direction of the sound source, and a target image of a specific shape is extracted from the captured image. Then, the imaging direction of the robot head section is controlled and moved to face in the direction of the extracted target image.

A remote controller for a biped robot is of a simple arrangement capable of remotely controlling movement of the biped robot while taking into account the stability of the attitude of the robot. A manipulation unit outputs, to a robot A, signals representative of manipulated positions of manipulator levers which correspond respectively to both legs of the robot A. A control unit mounted in the robot A generates a motion command (desired gait) for determining motions of the legs for at least two steps of a walking action of the robot A depending on the manipulated positions of manipulator levers which are represented by output signal data from the manipulation unit , and controls motions of the legs based on the motion command.

Modified PTFE is produced by exposing a starting PTFE to an ionizing radiation for a total dose of at least 100 kGy in the absence of oxygen at a temperature not lower than the crystal melting point of the starting PTFE. The thus modified PTFE is improved in radiation resistance and has rubber characteristics.
