Abstract: Provided is a control device capable of controlling the operation of a control target according to a detected external force. A control device (200) includes a control unit (210-1) that compares a first external force detected by a force sensor provided in a control target and a second external force estimated on the basis of a torque detected by a torque sensor provided in an a movable portion of the control target, the movable portion enabling the force sensor to be movable, and controls the operation of the control target by correcting a torque command value on the basis of a result of the comparison.

Abstract: An information processing device, an information processing method, and a program are proposed that make it possible to allow an autonomous moving body to make battery replacement more easily. The information processing device includes a controller. The controller couples, in a first region, a connection terminal to the autonomous moving body. The first region is provided for ejection of a first battery included in the autonomous moving body. The connection terminal is provided for power supply and included in a power supply apparatus disposed in the first region. The controller moves the autonomous moving body with the connection terminal coupled, from the first region to a second region in which a charged second battery is disposed.

Abstract: There is provided an information processing apparatus to estimate a position of a distal end of a movable unit with a reduced processing load, the information processing including a position computer that computes, on the basis of first positional information obtained from reading of a projected marker by a first visual sensor and second positional information including positional information obtained from reading of the marker by a second visual sensor that moves relative to the first visual sensor, a position of a movable unit in which the second visual sensor is disposed. This makes it possible to estimate the position of the distal end of the movable unit with a reduced processing load.
