Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a robot control method as well as an apparatus, and a robot using the same. The method includes: obtaining a human pose image; obtaining pixel information of key points in the human pose image; obtaining three-dimensional positional information of key points of a human arm according to the pixel information of the preset key points; obtaining a robotic arm kinematics model of a robot; obtaining an angle of each joint in the robotic arm kinematics model according to the three-dimensional positional information of the key points of the human arm and the robotic arm kinematics model; and controlling an arm of the robot to perform a corresponding action according to the angle of each joint. The control method does not require a three-dimensional stereo camera to collect three-dimensional coordinates of a human body, which reduces the cost to a certain extent.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a sentence generation method as well as a sentence generation apparatus and a smart device. The method includes: obtaining an input sentence; searching for structurally similar sentence(s) of each input sentence, where the structurally similar sentence(s) are structurally similar to the input sentence; finding semantically similar sentence(s) of the structurally similar sentence(s); parsing the input sentence and the structurally similar sentence(s) to obtain a subject block, a predicate block, and an object block to rewrite the semantically similar sentences to generate a new sentence; filtering the new sentence based on a preset filtering condition; and labeling the filtered new sentence as a semantically similar sentence of the input sentence. In this manner, a plurality of new sentences with different sentence patterns can be generated based on the same input sentence, which improves the controllability in generating the sentences and saves the labor cost therein.
