Abstract: An information processing apparatus (100) includes an acquisition unit (132) that acquires, from a storage unit (120) that stores episode data (D1) of a speaker, the episode data (D1) regarding topic information included in utterance data (D30) of the speaker, and an interaction control unit (133) that controls an interaction with the speaker so as to include an episode based on the episode data (D1).

Abstract: There is provided a moving apparatus which includes a control unit that executes traveling control of the moving apparatus, an upper unit that has an article storage unit, and a lower unit that houses the control unit and a drive unit. The upper unit has an upper sensor that detects an obstacle in surroundings at a position of at least one of an upper surface or a lower surface position, and the lower unit has a lower sensor that detects an obstacle in a proximity area of a traveling surface of the moving apparatus. The control unit inputs sensor detection information, detects an obstacle in surroundings of the moving apparatus, executes traveling control to avoid contact with the obstacle, and performs control to display a traveling route recognition display line that indicates a traveling route of the moving apparatus.

Abstract: A configuration in which an optimum system utterance is selected and output from a plurality of system utterances generated by a plurality of dialogue execution modules that generate system utterances in accordance with different algorithms is realized. A data processing unit generating and outputting system utterances selects one system utterance from among a plurality of system utterances individually generated by the plurality of dialogue execution modules and outputs the selected system utterance. Each of the plurality of dialogue execution modules generates algorithm-specific system utterances in accordance with different algorithms. The data processing unit selects one system utterance to be output in accordance with the degree of confidence which is set to correspond to a system utterance generated by each of the plurality of dialogue execution modules and a predefined dialogue execution module-compatible priority.

Abstract: Provided is an information processing apparatus which includes a control section that controls a conversation with a user according to a recognized situation. The control section acquires knowledge elements related to the recognized situation in terms of knowledge from knowledge sets, and determines contents of an utterance on the basis of the knowledge elements and an utterance template. Further, provided is an information processing method that includes controlling, by a processor, a conversation with a user according to a recognized situation. The controlling further includes acquiring knowledge elements related to the recognized situation in terms of knowledge from knowledge sets, and determining contents of an utterance on the basis of the knowledge elements and an utterance template.

Abstract: To implement calculation of low cost processing and task processing that fit reality by generating a task sequence in which a node identifier of an additional node at a position other than a registered position and a processing type are recorded. Regarding movement processing between registered nodes and processing at a registered node, a task sequence in which tasks each including a node identifier and a processing type are chronologically arranged is generated, and moreover a moving device corresponding task sequence corresponding to each moving device is generated on the basis of the generated task sequence. In a case where a processing execution position of the moving device does not match a registered node, a node is added to the processing execution position, and a task sequence including an additional node corresponding task in which the node identifier of the additional node and the processing type are recorded is generated.

Abstract: To enable generation of a task sequence and task processing without waste by generating the task sequence in which a node identifier of a node and a processing type are recorded and moreover dynamically updating the task sequence in response to generation of an additional task, and causing a moving device to execute the updated task sequence. Regarding movement processing between registered nodes and processing at a registered node, a task sequence in which tasks each including a node identifier and a processing type are chronologically arranged is generated, and moreover a moving device corresponding task sequence corresponding to each moving device is generated. In a case where a new additional task sequence is generated, moving device corresponding task sequence update processing of inserting a task included in the additional task sequence into the existing moving device corresponding task sequence is executed.

Abstract: The present technique relates to an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, and a program which enable a pick-up demand of a taxi to be learned and predicted in a more efficient manner. An information processing apparatus includes: a control portion configured to divide a business region into a plurality areas and, using hired vehicle sequence data that is data for each area indicating that a business vehicle has picked up a customer, execute first clustering in which the plurality of areas are clustered using a first parameter and execute second clustering in which the plurality of areas are clustered using a second parameter. For example, the present technique can be applied to an information processing apparatus or the like that predicts a pick-up demand of a taxi.
