POWER SUPPLY DEVICE AND POWER TRANSMISSION SYSTEM
An power supply device includes a housing to accommodate an electronic device to supply power in a non-contact manner to the electronic device. The housing includes a floor on which the electronic device is placed and a side wall to surround the electronic device. The side wall is provided with a plurality of wall-side protrusions protruding inward from the side wall.
ROBOT AND MANUFACTURING METHOD FOR ROBOT
A robot includes an exterior; a main body that is covered by the exterior and to which an attachment receiver is provided; a fixing member that is provided on an inner surface of the exterior and at a position fixable to the attachment receiver, a through-hole being formed in the fixing member; and an attachment member for fixing the fixing member to the main body by being attached to the attachment receiver. The attachment receiver is provided more toward one end of the main body, and the fixing member includes a first end that is disposed in a non-fixed state to the inner surface of the exterior and a second end that is fixed to the inner surface of the exterior.
Device control apparatus, device control method, and recording medium
A device control apparatus includes at least one processor that executes a program stored in at least one memory. The at least one processor sets growth degree data representing a simulated growth degree of a device, acquires character data representing a simulated character of the device, acquires other data related to the device, the other data being different from the character data, selectively sets a first movement mode based on the character data and a second movement mode based on the other data as a movement mode of the device according to the set growth degree data, and controls a movement of the device according to the set movement mode.
ANIMATED BUBBLE TOY CUSTOMIZABLE AND ACTIVATED BY THE ATTACHMENT OF AN ACCESSORY
An illuminating animation device secured within the housing of a bubble producing toy. Animation is created by the illumination of LEDs, which are secured within chambers of the device and project through a mouthpiece, which simulates talking. A printed circuit board is secured within the device and is electrically connected to a printed circuit board assembly that is secured within the housing. One mode of activating the device is via the connection of an unlimited number of hats to the housing. The hats include a unique sound chip with a USB-C plug that plugs into a USB-C port on the housing. When the hat is plugged into the housing, the toy detects the presence of the hat and sends a data signal to the hat sound module, which triggers music playback through a speaker in the toy and a unique light and bubble effect.
Programmable toy
A programmable toy is disclosed. The programmable toy includes a head member, a body member, a joint connecting the head and body members, one or more servo motors, a plurality of strings, a mobile application, and programmable instructions in the mobile application to allow the programmable toy to move on its own.

ROBOT, ROBOT CONTROL METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM
Disclosed is a robot including: a base part; a movable part attached to the base part in a rotatable state around a predetermined rotation axis; an actuator to rotate the movable part around the rotation axis; and one or more processors that control an orientation of the movable part around the rotation axis by controlling operation of the actuator. The processors determine whether the orientation of movable part is within a predetermined angle range including a predetermined reference orientation, in response to determining that the orientation is within the predetermined angle range, the processors control the actuator to be in a first state in which the actuator does not restrict rotation of the movable part, and in response to determining that the orientation is not within the predetermined angle range, the processors control the actuator to be in a second state in which the actuator restricts the rotation.
ELECTRONIC DEVICE, CONTACTLESS CHARGING SYSTEM, AND PET ROBOT
An electronic device includes a power reception coil unit for contactless charging, a coil retainer to retain the power reception coil unit, and a casing to accommodate the power reception coil unit and the coil retainer. The casing has an opening. The coil retainer retains the power reception coil unit while allowing the power reception coil unit to be exposed through the opening, and reinforces the opening by being fixed to or abutting on a peripheral edge of the opening in the casing.
ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND CONTACTLESS CHARGING SYSTEM
An electronic device includes: a body that accommodates a first consumable part and at least a part of second consumable parts, wherein the body includes a first casing to which the first consumable part and the second consumable parts are attached, and a second casing that engages with the first casing in an orientation that the second casing faces the first casing in a first direction, the first consumable part and the second consumable parts are arranged to at least partially overlap with each other in a direction along the first direction, and the first consumable part and the second consumable parts that are arranged to overlap with each other in the direction along the first direction are configured to be removable independently of each other.
