Abstract: A tactile sensor unit according to one embodiment of the present disclosure includes a pin-hole layer, an optical sensor, a plurality of light sources, a deformation layer, and a marker. The pin-hole layer has a plurality of pin-holes and a plurality of first through holes. The optical sensor is disposed at a position opposed to the plurality of pin-holes via a predetermined gap. The plurality of light sources is disposed in a layer between the pin-hole layer and the optical sensor, at locations respectively opposed to the plurality of through holes. The deformation layer is disposed at a position on a side opposite to the plurality of light sources in a positional relationship with respect to the pin-hole layer. The marker is disposed on a surface of the deformation layer or inside of the deformation layer.

Abstract: An information processing system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a first information processing device to be provided to a movable body and a second information processing device to be provided to a portion that differs from the movable body. The first information processing device includes a sensor portion, a generation portion, a control portion, and an integration portion. The sensor portion senses a first external environment. The generation portion uses sensor data acquired from the sensor portion to generate a first map. The control portion controls motion of a manipulator on the basis of the first map. The integration portion uses position information of inside the first external environment, with which portion the manipulator is in contact, integrates the first map and a second map acquired from the second information processing device with each other, and generates an integration map.
