US 12,678,700 B2 · Autonomous moving object and information processing method

Abstract

The present technology relates to an autonomous moving object and an information processing method that make it possible to improve the ability in expression of the autonomous moving object. The autonomous moving object is an autonomous moving object that operates autonomously, and includes a light emission section that changes a color and brightness of a surface of the autonomous moving object, and a motion controlling section that controls a light emission pattern that is a pattern of the color and brightness of the light emission section, on the basis of a state of the autonomous moving object. The present technology can be applied, for example, to an autonomously movable robot that imitates a creature.

Dependent claims

An autonomous moving object, comprising:

a light emission section configured to change at least one of a color of a surface of the autonomous moving object or a brightness of the surface of the autonomous moving object;
and
a motion controlling section configured to control a light emission pattern of the light emission section, based on a state of the autonomous moving object, wherein
the light emission pattern is a pattern of the color of the surface of the autonomous moving object and the brightness of the surface of the autonomous moving object,
a speed of change of the light emission pattern of the light emission section is based on a speed at which the autonomous moving object walks or runs, and
the light emission pattern changes by movement of a lighted portion on the surface of the autonomous moving object.
