Described is a remotely controllable inflatable system. The system includes a base having at least one blower and at least one remotely controllable drive wheel. Notably, an inflatable form is connected with and sealed against the base. Activating the at least one blower causes the inflatable form to inflate. A user can then use a remote-control transmitter to cause the base with inflatable form to drive upon a ground surface.

Provided is an information processing apparatus having a control unit configured to execute instruction proxy processing in a case where an instruction from a user specifies another information processing apparatus as an instruction target.

In an aspect, a toy assembly is provided, and includes a housing, an inner object (which may, in some embodiments, be a toy character) inside the housing, a tether, and a breakout motor. The breakout motor is operatively connected to the tether such that operation of the breakout motor drives the tether to rip a hole in the housing to open the housing.

An information processor including: an operation control unit that controls a motion of an autonomous mobile body acting on the basis of recognition processing, in a case where a target sound that is a target voice for voice recognition processing is detected, the operation control unit moving the autonomous mobile body to a position, around an approach target, where an input level of a non-target sound that is not the target voice becomes lower, the approach target being determined on the basis of the target sound.

A method for a first server, which controls a robot, includes: acquiring, from a second server, request information that indicates a request for an action of the robot after the second server determines that it is required to encourage the user to exercise; if it is confirmed that the second server has an access right to make the robot perform the request, making a decision for one of an action group including at least two of execution, suspension, or rejection of the request; and after the decision to execute the request is made, transmitting, to the robot, instruction information that causes the robot to take an action for encouraging the user to exercise.

There is provided an information processing apparatus and an information processing method capable of intuitively and easily indicating a state of feeling of the autonomous moving body to the user. The information processing apparatus includes a control unit that, according to a change in a position of the autonomous moving body sensed by a sensing unit that senses the position of the autonomous moving body and a feeling parameter indicating the feeling of the autonomous moving body, causes a display screen to display a figure corresponding to the autonomous moving body while changing a state of the figure. The present disclosure can be applied to, for example, an apparatus and the like that controls an autonomous moving body.

A learning toy which enables learning of high-level programming in a stepwise manner. A movement path is constituted by a plurality of command panels in which command information which can be read with an optical reading module is recorded being arranged. A mobile robot sequentially reads command information included in the command panels through which the mobile robot passes while moving along the movement path and stores a plurality of pieces of command information in a command information memory. The mobile robot takes out a plurality of pieces of command information from arbitrary positions in the command information memory to execute operation. If a plurality of pieces of command information necessary for operation of the mobile robot are stored in the command information memory, a control unit of the mobile robot automatically extracts and takes out the command information and causes the mobile robot to operate.
