    Abstract: To provide an information processing apparatus and an information processing method for executing processing for causing an interactive apparatus to actuate an action leading to advertising promotion, and a robot apparatus. An information processing apparatus includes: a determination unit that determines that a trigger according to which an interactive apparatus should actuate an expressive motion leading to advertising promotion has been generated; and a decision unit that decides an expressive motion of the interactive apparatus on the basis of the determined trigger. The determination unit detects a trigger on the basis of a recognition result of a detection signal of a sensor that detects a state of surroundings of the interactive apparatus, and determines an interest level indicated by the trigger. Then, the decision unit decides an expressive motion of the interactive apparatus leading to advertising promotion according to the interest level.
