摘要:
The present invention makes it possible and easier to serve optimum robot components/devices/accessories by means of an information service system including personal terminal devices (31A to 31C) connected to an information communication network via a telecommunication line, and a server (38) connected to the information communication network via the telecommunication line to cumulatively store information on components/devices/accessories available from a plurality of manufacturers (37a, 37c and 37c) (third party) of components/devices/accessories of a robot 1, as classified according to the attributes of the components/devices/accessories and send, to the personal terminal devices (31A to 31C) connected thereto, options information prepared based on the attribute of the cumulatively stored components/devices/accessories information and including a plurality of items for selection of a robot component.
摘要:
A robotic system, robot apparatus, and a control method are presented wherein behaviors suitable for a robot are embodied based on information distributed by a number of information distributing devices. Also, the robotic system, robot apparatus, and a control method are designed based on information distributed by the number of information distributing devices such that a robot is prohibited from embodying corresponding behaviors out of the behaviors the robot could embody, or that prohibition on the robot embodying corresponding behaviors is withdrawn. Furthermore, control data for the robot to generate behaviors can be modified to meet the desires of the robot and/or the user of the robot.

In an information processing device and method, and programs, firstly, new second inheritance data is created based on first inheritance data regulating the shape and/or behaviors of a virtual creature and secondly, the gene data of the virtual creature is diagnosed and a given value added is applied to the virtual creature when it is determined based on the diagnostic result that the gene data satisfies predetermined conditions and thirdly, information on parents of virtual creatures which are sequentially created by mixing and registered, is stored and a pedigree of a designated virtual creature is inquired into based on the information. On the other hand, a data storing device is provided with a first storage means for storing inheritance data to regulate the shape and/or behaviors of a virtual creature, a communication means for transmitting/receiving inheritance data to/from the outside, and a second storing means for storing the inheritance data of other virtual creatures via the communication means.
摘要:
To control articulated robots by dynamically modifying a combination of a hardware-dependent middleware layer and a hardware-independent application layer. An interface and a database for semantically performing operation are prepared between a middleware layer which depends upon the hardware configuration of a robot and an application layer which does not depend upon the hardware configuration, thereby making it possible to always guarantee normal operation even if a combination of the middleware and the application which is to be introduced onto the robot is modified. The application can acquire appropriate input data via the middleware, and can issue an appropriate command.

The present invention relates to an image processing system, a learning device and method, and a program which enable easy extraction of feature amounts to be used in a recognition process. Feature points are extracted from a learning-use model image, feature amounts are extracted based on the feature points, and the feature amounts are registered in a learning-use model dictionary registration section 23. Similarly, feature points are extracted from a learning-use input image containing a model object contained in the learning-use model image, feature amounts are extracted based on these feature points, and these feature amounts are compared with the feature amounts registered in a learning-use model registration section 23. A feature amount that has formed a pair the greatest number of times as a result of the comparison is registered in the model dictionary registration section 12 as the feature amount to be used in the recognition process. The present invention is applicable to a robot.
摘要:
A gesture recognition apparatus including a detector, a controller and a gesture recognizer, and is able to detect a portion to be detected using an image captured at a first resolution without reducing the number of images to be entered per unit of time to an object detector by detecting an auxiliary portion instead when the portion to be detected is not detected at a second resolution, estimating the position of the auxiliary portion based on the position of the auxiliary portion, and extracting the periphery thereof from the image captured at the first resolution.
摘要:
Provided is a test apparatus that tests a device under test, including a vector expanding section that sequentially generates a plurality of test vectors; a predicting section that calculates a predicted value for each test vector by simulating an operation of the device under test, the predicted value indicating a prescribed characteristic value of the device under test to be measured while the device under test is supplied with a test signal corresponding to the test vector; a measuring section that obtains a measured value for each test vector by measuring the prescribed characteristic value of the device under test each time the device under test is supplied with a test vector; and a judging section that judges whether the device under test is defective based on a ratio between the predicted value and the measured value corresponding to each test vector.
