Abstract: An information processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present technology includes a classification unit and a generation unit. The classification unit classifies an object detected in a space on a basis of a predetermined criterion. The generation unit sets a priority for the object on a basis of a classification result by the classification unit, and generates position-related information regarding a position in the space on a basis of the set priority. Use of the position-related information makes it possible to improve the accuracy of autonomous movement control. This makes it possible to improve the accuracy of autonomous movement control.

Abstract: A mobile object control device (1) includes a first detection unit (21), a second detection unit (22), and a stillness determination unit (24). On the basis of a sensor mounted on a mobile object (100) that moves autonomously, the first detection unit (21) detects a movement state of the mobile object (100). The second detection unit (22) detects at least one of cartographic information at a current location of the mobile object (100), object information present in a periphery of the mobile object (100), and operation information of a movable portion included in the mobile object (100). The stillness determination unit (24) determines whether the mobile object (100) is in a static state on the basis of the movement state detected by the first detection unit (21) and the information detected by the second detection unit (22).

Abstract: An information processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present technology includes an acquisition unit, an image generation unit, and a presentation unit. The acquisition unit acquires image data relating to a predetermined region on a map. The image generation unit generates a predicted image on the basis of the image data, the predicted image being predicted to be acquired when imaging is performed within the predetermined region. The presentation unit presents the predicted image on the basis of an instruction relating to generation of plan information relating to movement and imaging of a mobile body having an imaging function within the predetermined region.

Abstract: To improve accuracy of position estimation on the basis of a plurality of estimation results.
An information processing device includes: a first estimator that estimates a self-position on the basis of a first coordinate system; a second estimator that estimates a self-position on the basis of a second coordinate system different from the first coordinate system; and an information acquisition part that, in a case where reliability of one of a first estimation result by the first estimator and a second estimation result by the second estimator in a coordinate system of the one estimation result is lower than a predetermined threshold, acquires self-position information on the basis of another estimation result.

Abstract: There is provided methods and apparatus for a path planning system. The apparatus comprises a body and a movement device attached thereto, wherein the body comprises a control unit in communication with the movement device, the control unit comprising at least one processor and a memory configured to store instructions. The instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to receive image capture range information for one or more imaging devices located external to the apparatus, calculate a movement path for the apparatus based, at least in part, on the received image capture range information, and control the movement device to move the apparatus in accordance with the calculated movement path.
