Provided is an inflatable doll, including a body, at least one airbag and an air blower assembly. The body includes a primary portion having a first air inlet, and a secondary portion. Each airbag defines a second air inlet, the airbag is connected with the primary portion and/or the secondary portion. The air blower assembly includes a first air blower adjacent to the first air inlet, and at least one second air blower at least partially received in the second air inlet. The first air blower is configured to inflate the primary portion, the secondary portion and the airbag. The at least one second air blower is configured to deflate the primary portion and/or the secondary portion. The second air blower is intermittently actuated, so that the primary portion and/or the secondary portion is intermittently inflated or deflated, for bringing the primary portion and/or the secondary portion to move.

A combination of a set of musical instruments and accessories to form a musical toy figurine is disclosed. The musical toy figurine comprising a head part; a stomach part; a right-arm part; a left-arm part; a right-leg part and a left-leg part, wherein each part comprises of at least a musical instrument and accessories and is detachable to be used as a musical instrument individually or in combination with each other to create a new musical toy; and wherein each part is hollow having a plurality of apertures to make a plurality of combination of sounds to escape from each part, and wherein each part including at least an attachment means attachable to one another to create a new musical toy figurine configured to play as a new musical instrument with a new combination of sounds.

The present invention relates to a self-powered toy comprising a power generation unit and a display unit electrically connected to the power generation unit, the power generation unit comprising a first electrode located on a first support layer; a first structure including a charge acquisition layer located on the first electrode; a second structure including a second electrode located on a second support layer; and a gap between the charge acquisition layer of the first structure and the second electrode of the second structure, which at least partially face each other. The gap is removed by an external force directly or indirectly applied to the first structure, the second structure, or both thereof and is formed again when the external force is removed, and the display unit is driven by power generated by the power generation unit according to the removal and formation of the gap.

The present technology relates to an autonomous mobile body, an information processing method, a program, and an information processing apparatus capable of improving user experience by an output sound of the autonomous mobile body.

The autonomous mobile body includes: a recognition unit that recognizes a motion of its own device; and a sound control unit that controls an output sound output from the own device. The sound control unit controls output of a plurality of operation sounds that is the output sound corresponding to a plurality of the motions of the own device, and changes the operation sound in a case where the plurality of motions has been recognized. The present technology can be applied to, for example, a robot.

Communication with a user is more naturally and effectively achieved. An information processing device according to an embodiment includes: a voice module (340) that outputs sound or voice in accordance with an action plan that has been input; a motion module (350) that executes an action in accordance with the action plan that has been input; and a body controller (360) that creates an action plan for each of the voice module and the motion module, in which the body controller: acquires audio data for outputting audio and motion data for executing an action; creates a first action plan for the voice module and a second action plan for the motion module on the basis of the audio data and the motion data; and inputs the first action plan to the voice module and inputs the second action plan to the motion module.

A character skin for a toy robot has an outer cover having an inner surface that is shaped to conform to an outer surface of a robot body housing of a self-propelled, toy robot. The outer cover can be fitted onto the robot body housing to cover an outer surface thereof and then removed from the housing, preferably with requiring a tool. The outer cover has an identification mechanism that provides an identification of a robot character software program, wherein the identification is electronically detected by the toy robot and in response the robot character software program is executed by the toy robot which changes behavior of the toy robot, whenever the outer cover is fitted onto the robot body housing. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.
