Abstract: A controller of an action control device that controls an action of a controlled device, wherein the controller controls the action of the controlled device using set control data that is set in advance in correspondence with a pseudo-emotion and random control data that is randomly generated in accordance with the pseudo-emotion.

Abstract: A robot imitating a living thing, includes a body, a head connected to a front end of the body, a movable portion for moving the head relative to the body, and a controller. In a state in which the body is placed on a mounting surface, the controller executes a first control that controls the movable portion to change a distance between the front end of the body and the mounting surface alternately between a first distance and a second distance by moving the head so that a state of the head pressing the mounting surface changes.

Abstract: A robot imitating a living thing and driven by a battery that is rechargeable, includes: an operator to perform an operation simulating a living thing; and a controller. The controller performs processing of causing the robot to perform a breathing operation that is an operation simulating breathing of a living thing at a predetermined cycle and processing of differentiating a control content of the operator between a charging breathing operation that is the breathing operation during charging of the battery and a non-charging breathing operation that is the breathing operation during non-charging of the battery.

Abstract: A robot that imitates a living thing and is driven by a battery that is rechargeable, includes an operator for causing the robot to perform an operation imitating a living thing, and a controller. In a case where the battery changes from a powered state in which a power supply operation for charging is in progress to a non-powered state that is a state in which the power supply operation is stopped, the controller controls the operator with a control content that is determined in accordance with the remaining level of the battery at timing corresponding to the change.

Abstract: An apparatus control device includes: at least one processor; and at least one first memory that stores a program executed by the processor, in which the processor acquires input data based on at least one of acceleration and angular velocity generated by application of an external force to an apparatus, classifies a plurality of the acquired input data into a plurality of clusters by an unsupervised clustering method, acquires relationship data representing relationship between the acquired input data and the plurality of classified clusters, and controls movement of the apparatus based on the acquired relationship data.

Abstract: A robot includes a body contactable with a placement surface, a head, at least one actuator, and at least one processor. The head is contactable with the placement surface, and is coupled to a front end of the body so as to be rotatable about a first rotational axis extending in a front-rear direction of the body and rotatable about a second rotational axis extending in a width direction of the body. The at least one actuator turns the head by causing the head to make a turn about the first rotational axis and a turn about the second rotational axis independently of each other. The at least one processor repeats a first turn control scheme and a second turn control scheme in sequence.

Abstract: The robot includes a storage unit and a control unit. The control unit acquires outside stimulus feature amounts that are feature amounts of an outside stimulus acting from outside, stores the acquired outside stimulus feature amounts in the storage unit as a history, compares outside stimulus feature amounts acquired at a certain timing with outside stimulus feature amounts stored in the storage unit to calculate a first similarity degree, and controls operations based on the calculated first similarity degree.

Abstract: A device control apparatus includes at least one processor executing a program stored in at least one memory.

Abstract: A robot includes: a body part capable of contacting a placement surface; a head part connected to a front end of the body part to be rotatable about a first axis of rotation extending in a front-back direction of the body part and rotatable about a second axis of rotation extending in a width direction of the body part, and capable of contacting the placement surface; a drive unit which performs a rotation about the first axis of rotation and a rotation about the second axis of rotation independently of each other to drive the head part; and a processor which controls the drive unit to perform preparation control to rotate the head part about the second axis of rotation by a preparation angle and vibration control to alternately repeat forward rotation and reverse rotation of the head part about the first axis of rotation.

Abstract: A device control apparatus includes at least one processor that executes a program stored in at least one memory. The at least one processor sets growth degree data representing a simulated growth degree of a device, acquires character data representing a simulated character of the device, acquires other data related to the device, the other data being different from the character data, selectively sets a first movement mode based on the character data and a second movement mode based on the other data as a movement mode of the device according to the set growth degree data, and controls a movement of the device according to the set movement mode.
