Abstract: There is provided a control apparatus and a control method for enabling a cooking robot to perform cooking efficiently. The control apparatus according to one aspect of the present technology acquires multiple recipe programs each prepared for a dish to be finished by a cooking robot going through multiple cooking processes, thereby creating a cooking process plan on the basis of a resource required for each of the cooking processes. The control apparatus further causes the cooking robot to parallelly execute those of the cooking processes that are parallelly executable for cooking different dishes, on the basis of the cooking process plan. The present technology can be applied to a computer that controls the cooking robot.

Abstract: There is provided an information processing device, an information processing terminal, and an information processing method capable of efficiently developing a recipe program to be used by a cooking robot. The processing device according to an aspect of the present technology provides a recipe program generated by combining, according to a dish, program modules prepared for each of cooking steps or for each unit of operations included in each of the cooking steps. The present technology is applicable to a server which discloses a recipe program to be used for controlling a cooking robot.

Abstract: An information processing system according to the present disclosure includes a mobile body that creates an advance map corresponding to a travel environment based on a distance measurement result by a distance measurement sensor to perform self-position estimation based on the advance map and an information processing device that arranges nodes in the advance map. The information processing device includes a receiving unit that receives a self-position estimation result of a mobile body in an advance map and a node arrangement unit that arranges nodes in the advance map based on the self-position estimation result.

Abstract: The present technology relates to an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, and a food preservation apparatus each capable of more appropriately outputting a response concerning a food. Provided is an information processing apparatus including a processing unit configured to: manage, as information regarding a food preserved in a preservation cabinet, food information containing ownership right information regarding an ownership right for each food; generate, in a case where information from an identified user contains the information regarding the ownership right, a response according to the ownership right information regarding a desired food of the user, on the basis of the managed food information; and output the generated response. The present technology is applicable to, for example, a device that makes up a food information management system.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus of the present technology includes a control unit. The control unit acquires multimodal information including sound information and non-sound information of a user and determines a topic to be presented to the user on the basis of the multimodal information.

Abstract: Output settings such as an image quality, a sound volume, and a sound quality made for an apparatus that outputs an image and a sound are brought into an appropriate state for a user without placing an operation load on the user. For this purpose, an information processing device inputs, as an analysis target, a signal obtained by a sensing apparatus, and subjects analysis target data based on the input signal to analysis including user identification. Subsequently, output settings that are settings related to image output or audio output are made by using user identification information obtained by the user identification.

Abstract: An information processing device includes: an input signal acquisition unit configured to acquire an input signal about an operation of an apparatus; an information acquisition unit configured to acquire information obtained by performing person having authority selection processing to select a person having authority who has permission authority about the operation instructed by the input signal acquired by the input signal acquisition unit, permission input apparatus selection processing to select a permission input apparatus according to a situation of the selected person having authority, and reception processing to receive a signal regarding operation permission from the selected permission input apparatus; and an apparatus control unit configured to perform control according to the operation instructed by the input signal acquired by the input signal acquisition unit on the basis of the information acquired by the information acquisition unit.
