Abstract: A robot control system includes circuitry to iteratively move a robot toward a task area in which the robot is to perform a task on a target object, by acquiring a first image of an observation area in a vicinity of the robot from an image sensor, calculating a probability that the observation area includes the task area based on the first image, extracting the task area from the first image based on the probability, controlling the robot to cause the robot to approach the task area, acquiring a second image of the observation area from the image sensor, after the robot approaches the task area, calculating a probability that the observation area includes the task area based on the second image, extracting the task area from the second image based on the probability, and controlling the robot to further approach the task area extracted from the second image.

Abstract: A robot control system includes processing circuitry that generates an inquiry for a user while a robot is executing a task, identifies an action of the user in response to the inquiry using a sensor, complements at least part of the task based on the identified action, and controls the robot such that the robot executes the complemented at least part of the task.
