A moving body according to one aspect of the present technology includes a top plate that serves as a desk at which a person performs work, a support arm that supports the top plate and that can extend and contract, and a moving unit that holds the support arm and performs movement for causing the work to be performed. Furthermore, the moving body controls a posture state including a state of the support arm and a movement state of the moving unit in accordance with a relationship with an environment state as a state of a surrounding environment and a person state as a state of the person located around, sensed by a sensor. The present technology can be applied to a movable robot.

Abstract: The present technology relates to a moving body and a moving method that make it possible to move the moving body while causing the moving body to exert interactivity. The moving body of one aspect of the present technology moves while controlling a movement speed and a movement direction, depending on a state of the moving body, a state of a person located around the moving body, and a parameter indicating character or emotion of the moving body. The present technology can be applied to movable robots.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an information processing apparatus and an information processing method as well as a program that make it possible to control, by a partition provided on a boundary between two spaces, a visual shielding property and an auditory shielding property of a first space to a person in a second space in an interlocking relationship with each other in response to a distance between the person in the second space and the partition. A distance between the partition, which partitions the first space and the second space, and a person in the second space is measured, and transmittance of the partition and magnitude of output of audio in the first space to the second space are controlled in response to the measured distance. The present disclosure can be applied to a control apparatus for a partition section.
