Abstract: The present technology relates to an autonomous mobile body, an information processing method, and a program enabling improvement in ability of expression by audio of an autonomous mobile body. An autonomous mobile body includes a recognition unit that recognizes an external stimulus, and an audio control unit that controls a characteristic and an output timing of audio output in response to the stimulus on the basis of at least one of a behavior of the autonomous mobile body, a state of the autonomous mobile body, a partner who gives the stimulus, a surrounding situation, or a content of the stimulus. The present technology can be applied to, for example, a pet-type robot.

Abstract: The present technology relates to an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, and a program enabling improvement of an entertainment aspect of an autonomous mobile body.
The information processing apparatus includes: an image processing unit configured to generate a first moving image in which a virtual second autonomous mobile body that virtually interacts with a first autonomous mobile body is superimposed in a captured moving image obtained by capturing an image of the first autonomous mobile body; and a display control unit configured to control display of the first moving image. The present technology can be applied to, for example, an information processing terminal that performs an operation and the like on an autonomous mobile body.

Abstract: The present technology relates to an autonomous mobile body, an information processing method, and a program enabling improvement in ability of expression by audio of an autonomous mobile body. An autonomous mobile body includes an operation control unit that controls an operation of the autonomous mobile body, a recognition unit that recognizes a state of the autonomous mobile body in operation, and an audio control unit that generates or processes audio data corresponding to audio to be output in accordance with the operation of the autonomous mobile body on the basis of a recognition result of the state of the autonomous mobile body, and controls a characteristic and an output timing of the audio. The present technology can be applied to, for example, a pet-type robot.
