Abstract
To provide a mobile body control system, a control method, and a storage medium in which a mobile body can move to an appropriate angle and distance in accordance with emotion of a communication target. Provided is a mobile body control system including a moving unit to move; a measuring unit to measure an angle and a distance with a target which is a communication target; an emotion estimating unit to estimate an emotion of the target; and a control unit to control the moving unit to move a mobile body to an initial position with an appropriate angle and distance with respect to the target in accordance with the estimated emotion.
Claims20
A mobile body control system, comprising:
- control circuitry configured to:
- control a moving unit to move a mobile body to an initial position having a first angle and a first distance with respect to a first target, wherein
- the first angle and the first distance are based on an emotion of the first target;
- and
- control the moving unit to move the mobile body to a first proximate position, wherein
- the moving unit is controlled based on the emotion of the first target,
- the emotion of the first target is a positive emotion,
- the first proximate position is at a second distance to the first target,
- the second distance is closer to the first target than the first distance, and
- the mobile body is moved to the first proximate position without a change in the first angle with respect to the first target.
A control method, comprising:
- controlling a moving unit, by control circuitry, to move a mobile body to an initial position having an angle and a first distance with respect to a target, wherein the angle and the first distance are based on an emotion of the target;
- and
- controlling the moving unit, by the control circuitry, to move the mobile body to a first proximate position, wherein
- the moving unit is controlled based on the emotion of the target,
- the emotion of the first target is a positive emotion,
- the first proximate position is at a second distance to the target,
- the second distance is closer to the target than the first distance, and
- the mobile body is moved to the first proximate position without a change in the angle with respect to the target.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon, computer-executable instructions which, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to execute operations, the operations comprising:
- controlling a moving unit to move a mobile body to an initial position having an angle and a first distance with respect to a target, wherein the angle and the first distance is based on an emotion of the target;
- and
- controlling the moving unit to move the mobile body to a proximate position, wherein
- the moving unit is controlled based on the emotion of the target,
- the emotion of the first target is a positive emotion,
- the proximate position is at a second distance to the target,
- the second distance is closer to the target than the first distance, and
- the mobile body is moved to the proximate position without a change in the angle with respect to the target.
