摘要:
An arithmetic processing device for inter-object data communication has an object manager for connecting objects so as to enable exchange of data between the objects, and a connection data supplying unit for supplying the object manager with connection data necessary for achieving the connection between the objects. Disclosed also are an inter-object communication method and a robot incorporating the arithmetic processing device. The robot may be designed to enable a user to replace parts thereof, thus changing the robot configuration. The robot preferably includes a part detection unit for detecting parts attached to the robot, and outputting a part detection result in accordance with the detection. An information storage unit stores information corresponding to the part detection result for each configuration obtained by replacement of the parts. A software changing unit revises robot-controlling software in correspondence with a changed configuration, based on a comparison of the part detection result with the information stored in the information storage unit. A controller controls general robot operations in accordance with the revised software.
摘要:
An arithmetic processing device, an object-to-object communication method and a robot, such as an entertainment robot, in which software suited to a current robot configuration is set. The software is changed corresponding to the configuration based on a comparison result of information corresponding to a component detection result stored for each configuration and a component detection result associated with the current configuration. Objects are connected so that data can be exchanged based on the connection data.

A behavior decision system (70) includes a perceptual information acquisition unit (90) which acquires a cause factor being external or internal information acquired by a CCD camera (20), distance sensor (22), microphone (23) or the like and which influences a behavior and a motivational information acquisition unit (81) which acquires an occurrence tendency of a behavior influenced by the cause factor based on the cause factor from the perceptual information acquisition unit (90), a behavior selecting processor (82) which compares occurrence tendencies corresponding to two or more behaviors, acquired by the perceptual information acquisition unit (90) and motivational information acquisition unit (81) and belonging to the same group, to thereby select one of the behaviors, and an output semantics converter module (68) which controls moving parts based on the behavior selected by the behavior selecting processor (82) for expressing the selected behavior. With the behavior decision system, there can be provided a robot having an improved likeness to a living thing or a creature and showing a more similar behavior to that of an animal.
摘要:
To control articulated robots by dynamically modifying a combination of a hardware-dependent middleware layer and a hardware-independent application layer. An interface and a database for semantically performing operation are prepared between a middleware layer which depends upon the hardware configuration of a robot and an application layer which does not depend upon the hardware configuration, thereby making it possible to always guarantee normal operation even if a combination of the middleware and the application which is to be introduced onto the robot is modified. The application can acquire appropriate input data via the middleware, and can issue an appropriate command.

Disclosed is an information processing apparatus including: a learning unit that learns user preference for each type in each category for classifying content items in a server; a selection unit that, based on type information indicating a recommendable type which is a type of content items recommendable by the server and a substitutable type which is a type that satisfies a predetermined condition out of the recommendable type, selects one or more recommendable types in a case where there is the recommendable type corresponding with user preference in the selected category, and selects one or more substitutable types in the selected category in a case where there is no recommendable type corresponding with user preference; and an obtaining unit that obtains a content of the selected type from the server.
摘要:
A content recommendation system includes: an attribute value storage means which stores one or more attribute values of attributes for each content; a preference distribution storage means which stores a user preference degree for each attribute value; an attribute value acquisition means which acquires an attribute value of at least one attribute for each content; a preference distribution update means which updates the storage contents in the preference distribution storage means in accordance with the acquired attribute value; a condition determination means which selects an attribute value of one or more attributes in accordance with probability based on the user preference degree stored in the preference distribution storage means and determines the condition of the attribute value of the one or more attributes in accordance with the selected attribute value; and a content selection means which selects some or all of the contents in accordance with the determined condition.
