  • Publication number: 20230326048
    Abstract: A system including an acquisition unit configured to acquire, from a user via a communication device associated with the user, target object data including a feature of a target object selected by the user, an analysis unit configured to analyze whether the target object data that has been acquired by the acquisition unit includes, as the feature, at least one of data of a proper noun or data of a character string related to the target object, and whether the target object data includes data of a color related to the target object, and an estimation unit configured to estimate a distance from the target object to the user, based on an analysis result of the analysis unit, wherein the estimation unit estimates the distance from the target object to the user such that the distance from the target object to the user in a case where the target object data includes at least one of the data of the proper noun or the data of the character string is shorter than the distance from the target object to the user in a ca

  • Publication number: 20230298340
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus of the present invention comprises acquires a captured image; detects a plurality of targets included in the captured image, and extracts a plurality of features for each of the detected plurality of targets; acquires an impurity for each extracted feature, the impurity indicating a degree to which a predetermined target is inseparable from among the plurality of targets in a case where a user is asked a question for presuming the predetermined target from among the plurality of targets based on each feature; and generates the question to reduce a number of questions for minimizing the impurity based on the extracted features and the impurity for each of the features.

  • Publication number: 20220319514
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus capable of controlling a mobile object on the basis of an instruction by an utterance of a user identifies which scene a use scene of a target user is among a plurality of use scenes in a case where the mobile object is used, acquires utterance information of the target user, and selects a different machine learning model according to the identified use scene of the target user. The information processing apparatus estimates an intent of an utterance of the target user by using the selected machine learning model.

  • Publication number: 20220314449
    Abstract: In a robot remote operation which recognizes a movement of an operator and transmits the movement of the operator to a robot to operate the robot, a robot remote operation control device includes: an information acquisition part, acquiring an environment sensor value acquired by an environment sensor provided in the robot or a surrounding environment of the robot and an operator sensor value, which is information indicating the movement of the operator that is detected; and an intention estimation part, estimating a motion of the operator, which is a motion instruction with respect to the robot, by using a trained model from the operator sensor value.

  • Publication number: 20220297296
    Abstract: A control device includes a target position setting part, a trajectory estimation part, and a target position selector. The target position setting part determines a target position of an actor of a robot based on a form of an object located in an operating environment of the robot. The trajectory estimation part estimates a predicted trajectory of the actor based on motion of the actor up to the present, and estimates a trajectory of the actor from a current position to the target position as an approach trajectory using a predetermined function. The target position selector selects one target position based on a degree of similarity between the predicted trajectory and each of the approach trajectory.

  • Publication number: 20150111005
    Abstract: A first mask layer (13) and a second mask layer (12) are transferred and imparted to a target object (20) using a fine-pattern-forming film (I) provided with a cover film (10) having a nanoscale concavo-convex structure (11) formed on one surface thereof, a second mask layer (12) provided in a recess of the concavo-convex structure (11), and a first mask layer (13) provided so as to cover the concavo-convex structure (11) and the second mask layer (12). A surface of a fine-pattern-forming film (II) to which the first mask layer (13) is provided is pressed toward a surface of the target object (20), energy rays are irradiated to the first mask layer (13), and the cover film (10) is then separated from the second mask layer (12) and the first mask layer (13). Pressing and energy ray irradiation are each performed independently. The target object is etched using the second mask layer (12) and the first mask layer (13).

  • Publication number: 20100041167
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method for diagnosing large intestinal cancer and/or polyp and a method for observing postoperative course or monitoring recurrence thereof, wherein each method includes detecting cystatin SN protein by use of an anti-cystatin SN antibody. The present invention is able to provide a kit for assaying cystatin SN, which can be used, in a simple manner, in a diagnosis performed prior to conventional barium enema examination and endoscopic examination which impose burdens on patients; as an indicator of metastasis and recurrence; and in the evaluation of therapeutic effects. The present invention provides a method for diagnosing or monitoring large intestinal cancer and/or polyp which can be performed in a simple manner, and thus can allow to design a new regimen rapidly.
