摘要： A robot is proposed which has a speech recognition unit to detect information supplied simultaneously with or just before or after detection of a touch by a touch sensor, an associative memory/recall memory to store action made correspondingly to the touch and input information (speech signal) detected by the speech recognition unit in association with each other, and an action generator to control the robot to make action recalled by the associative memory/recall memory based on a newly acquired input information (speech signal). The robot has also a sensor data processor to allow the robot to act correspondingly to the touch detection by the touch sensor. Thus, the robot can learn action in association with an input signal such as speech signal.

摘要： Sentences corresponding to internal statuses of a robot device or the like are created and uttered, thereby expressing the internal statuses. The robot device or the like comprise means for recognizing an external status, and means for generating an emotion based on the internals status, whereby a change in the emotion is reflected upon a dialogue. The internal status is not associated with a sentence, but it exists independently of the system and is always varied depending on various external inputs and internal changes of the system. Accordingly, even when the same question is made on the robot device or the like, the contents of a reply are changed depending on the internal status at that time, and a manner of providing a reply also differs depending on the internal status.

摘要： An identifying apparatus and method and a robot apparatus capable of reliably identifying other moving objects or other objects, a position detecting apparatus and method and a robot apparatus capable of accurately detecting the position of a moving object or itself within a region, and a color extracting apparatus capable of accurately extracting a desired color are difficult to be realized. Objects are provided with identifiers having different color patterns such that the color patterns are detected and identified through image processing. Also, the objects of interest are given color patterns different from each other, such that the position of the object can be detected by identifying the color pattern through image processing. Further, a plurality of wall surfaces having different colors are provided along the periphery of the region, such that the position of an object is detected on the basis of the colors of the wall surfaces through image processing. Further, a luminance level and color difference levels are sequentially detected for each of pixels to extract a color by determining whether or not the color difference levels are within a predetermined range.

摘要： Systems and methods are disclosed for processing information. In one implementation, an image processing apparatus includes an acquisition unit that acquires two or more images to be grouped together. The images include time information as attribute information. The image processing apparatus groups the images based on whether the intervals among times represented by the time information are greater than at least one threshold value. The images are managed in the form of a binary tree structure and handled in single or different groups based on comparing a threshold value with the standard deviations of intervals among the times so as to match a user's subjective intention.

摘要： A robot apparatus in which the storage capacity necessary for holding motion data is diminished in representing the emotion by motions exploiting the body resources. In demonstrating component behaviors of the robot apparatus, the basic posture, as the posture at the start time of one or plural movements forming a component behavior, is changed to express the emotion. Specifically, the robot apparatus includes variations for expressing the emotion for the basic posture (basic posture for the emotion). The respective resources are actuated from the basic posture for the emotion and reversion is made again to the basic posture to demonstrate the emotion.
