Abstract: The present technology relates to an autonomous mobile body, an information processing method, and a program enabling improvement in ability of expression by audio of an autonomous mobile body. An autonomous mobile body includes a recognition unit that recognizes an external stimulus, and an audio control unit that controls a characteristic and an output timing of audio output in response to the stimulus on the basis of at least one of a behavior of the autonomous mobile body, a state of the autonomous mobile body, a partner who gives the stimulus, a surrounding situation, or a content of the stimulus. The present technology can be applied to, for example, a pet-type robot.

Abstract: The present technology relates to an autonomous mobile body, an information processing method, a program, and an information processing apparatus capable of improving user experience by an output sound of the autonomous mobile body.
The autonomous mobile body includes: a recognition unit that recognizes a motion of its own device; and a sound control unit that controls an output sound output from the own device. The sound control unit controls output of a plurality of operation sounds that is the output sound corresponding to a plurality of the motions of the own device, and changes the operation sound in a case where the plurality of motions has been recognized. The present technology can be applied to, for example, a robot.
