    Abstract: A robot includes an operation unit, an imager, an operation controller, a determiner, and an imager controller. The imager is disposed at a predetermined part of the robot and captures an image of a subject. The operation controller controls the operation unit to move the predetermined part. The determiner determines whether the operation controller is moving the predetermined part or not while the imager captures the image of the subject. The imager controller controls the imager or recording of the image of the subject that is captured by the imager, in a case in which the determiner determines that the operation controller is moving the predetermined part, so as to prevent motion of the predetermined part from affecting the image of the subject and causing the operation unit to perform an erroneous operation.

    Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to make a facial expression when the eyes are moved more natural. An image processing device (100) is provided with the following: an image acquisition unit (5a) for acquiring an image that includes the eyes; an iris detection unit (5c) for detecting from the acquired image the iris region of the eyes; and an eye image generation unit (5f) for supplementing a deficient portion of the iris region so that the shape of the detected iris region becomes substantially circular.

    Abstract: A determiner in a dialogue control apparatus determines whether a reply can be made in response to an utterance made by the dialogue partner. If the determiner determines that a reply cannot be made, a creator creates a reply sentence for connecting to a next topic. An utterer utters the reply sentence created by the creator.

    Abstract: A method includes specifying an image area which is contained in the subject-present image taken and in which nonflatness is less than or equal to a predetermined value, determining whether or not a range of the specified image area in the subject-present image in which the nonflatness is less than or equal to a predetermined value is greater than or equal to a predetermined range, generating an extraction background image used to extract a subject area in the subject-present image containing the subject, from the image area when the range of the image area in which the nonflatness is less than or equal to a predetermined value is determined to be greater than or equal to the predetermined range, and extracting the subject area from the subject-present image based on information on a difference between each pixel in the extraction background image and a corresponding pixel in the subject-present image.
