Abstract: When speech of a first user includes a first word that is stored in a memory and associated with the first user, it is determined whether or not a difference between a first time and a second time is equal to or less than a predetermined time. The first time is a current time at which the first user spoke the first word. The second time is a time at which a second user last spoke a second word associated with the first word. When the difference between the first time and the second time is equal to or less than the predetermined time, a speaker outputs speech of a same content associated with the first word and the second word.

Abstract: A topic providing device includes a candidate topic extractor, a provided topic determiner, a voice synthesizer, and a speaker. When a determination is made that a parent and child are conversing and that there is a need to provide a new topic to the parent and child, based on a conversation history database and a child activity database storing at least one activity name indicating an activity the child was engaged in for a first predetermined period of time, the candidate topic extractor extracts at least one candidate topic that corresponds to the at least one activity name in the child activity database and does not correspond to an activity name included in text data recorded in a first database. From the at least one candidate topic, the provided topic determiner selects one topic to provide to the parent and the child. The voice synthesizer generates voice data containing the one topic. The speaker outputs the voice data.

Abstract: A robot having a spherical casing, a weight driving mechanism, and a rotating mechanism is provided. The robot further includes a control circuit that controls the weight driving mechanism and the rotating mechanism is also provided. The control circuit is configured to, when responding to an input instruction received from a user, based on a predetermined processing that requires a predetermined amount of time or more to respond to an input instruction by a user input via an input device, cause the weight driving mechanism to be rotated to where a guide path of the weight driving mechanism is positioned to be orthogonal to an advancing direction by a set of driving wheels. The control circuit is further configured to cause the weight to be reciprocally move along the guide path that is positioned orthogonal to the advancing direction, during the predetermined processing.

Abstract: A robot is provided. When a value obtained by excluding a gravitational component from an acceleration detected by an acceleration sensor is continuously less than a reference value for a certain time, a travelling state of the robot is determined as frictional surface travelling. A control circuit calculates an attitude angle of the robot from an angular velocity in a pitch direction, which is detected by an angular velocity sensor. When the calculated attitude angle is a lower limit angle or more for a determination time, the control circuit sets the attitude angle at the end of the determination time as an attitude control angle. When the travelling state of the robot is determined as the frictional surface travelling, the control circuit moves a counterweight frontward by a movement amount corresponding to the attitude control angle.

Abstract: A robot includes a main casing, a first spherical cap and a second spherical cap, and a shaft linking the spherical caps. The robot further includes a display, a first driving mechanism causing the first and second spherical caps to be rotated by the shaft, and a second driving mechanism that causes the main casing to be rotated. The robot also includes a control circuit and an electric power source, charged by electric power from an external charger. If the remaining electric power of the electric power source is lower than or equal to a predetermined value, the second driving mechanism is controlled to stop rotation of the main casing, and the first driving mechanism is controlled to switch a rotational direction of the first spherical cap and the second spherical cap, causing the display to be reciprocally moved in a vertical direction.

Abstract: When an application of an apparatus is remotely activated based on an instruction by a first user, whether a current position of the apparatus is included in a blind area of a second user is determined based on an image acquired by a camera. When the current position of the apparatus is not in the blind area, a target point included in the blind area is set, a driving mechanism is controlled, the apparatus is moved to the target point, and a speaker is caused to output speech corresponding to the application.
