Abstract:
A controller of an action control device that controls an action of a controlled device, wherein the controller controls the action of the controlled device using set control data that is set in advance in correspondence with a pseudo-emotion and random control data that is randomly generated in accordance with the pseudo-emotion.
Abstract:
An action control device that controls the actions of a robot acquires an external stimulus; and in a case of executing an action corresponding to the external stimulus, controls so as to execute, based on an intimacy between a subject applying the external stimulus and the robot, different action content.
Abstract:
A robot imitating a living thing, includes a body, a head connected to a front end of the body, a movable portion for moving the head relative to the body, and a controller. In a state in which the body is placed on a mounting surface, the controller executes a first control that controls the movable portion to change a distance between the front end of the body and the mounting surface alternately between a first distance and a second distance by moving the head so that a state of the head pressing the mounting surface changes.
Abstract:
A robot provided with eyes includes an operation unit that operates a display and a movable member; a checker that checks whether eye contact with a predetermined target is made or not; a determiner that determines whether a predetermined condition regarding the predetermined target is satisfied during the eye contact or not, in a case in which the checker checks that the eye contact with the predetermined target is made; and an operation controller that controls the display and the movable member to cancel the eye contact with the predetermined target, in a case in which the determiner determines that the predetermined condition regarding the predetermined target is satisfied.
Abstract:
The power receiving system includes a power receiver, a battery and one or more processors. The power receiver receives power from a power supply device. The battery is accommodated in the robot and is to be charged with power received by the power receiver. In a case where a determination is made that an amount of charge of the battery is determined to be less than a predetermined amount of charge, the one or more processors control the robot and sets an energy saving mode of the robot, and in a case where a determination is made that the amount of charge of the battery is equal to or greater than the predetermined amount of charge, the one or more processors release setting of the energy saving mode and controls to receive power that is equal to or greater than a reference power consumption corresponding to the energy saving mode.
Abstract:
A robot includes a coupler coupling a first part to a second part; a driver driving the coupler; a sound outputter that outputs a sound; and at least one processor. The at least one processor, upon detection of a predetermined trigger, controls at least one of the driver or the sound outputter so that the robot executes a first action set so that action content changes in accordance with pseudo-growth of the robot, and a second action set so that a change of the action content according to the pseudo-growth does not occur and also set so that the action content varies due to a difference in an individuality of the robot.
Abstract:
An action control device includes a sound acquirer, an actuator, and a controller. In response to the controller determining, during an action of the actuator, that a sound acquired by the sound acquirer is a human voice, the controller controls so as to stop the actuator, capture sound after the determination for a predetermined period, and in response to the predetermined period having elapsed, restart the action of the actuator.
Abstract:
A first robot acquires reaction determination results that includes a result obtained by determining a reaction of a predetermined target to an utterance by the first robot and a result obtained by determining a reaction of a predetermined target to an utterance by a second robot provided separately from the first robot, and controls, based on the acquired reaction determination results, an utterance by at least one of a plurality of utterance devices including the first robot and the second robot.
Abstract:
There is provided an imaging apparatus including an imaging unit, an orthogonal axis information detecting unit that detects orthogonal axis information indicating an inclination of an orthogonal axis perpendicular to an optical axis of the imaging unit after imaging by the imaging unit, and a specifying unit that specifies a shooting posture of an apparatus body at time of imaging, based on the orthogonal axis information detected by the orthogonal axis information detecting unit.
