Abstract: A control system includes: a moving object; and a control apparatus. The moving object is configured to: determine a face direction based on whether or not a face image of the human exists; and control the movement apparatus so that the moving object moves in accordance with path information. The control apparatus is configured to: detect a position of the human and the moving object in the area; calculate, based on the position of the human and the moving object, and the face direction, the path information for allowing the moving object to arrive at any one of a position within a predetermined range from the human and in a field of view of the human and a position within the predetermined range from the human and outside the field of view of the human; and transmit the path information to the moving object.

Abstract: The dialog device according to the present invention includes a prediction unit 254 configured to predict an utterance length attribute of a user utterance in response to a the machine utterance, a selection unit 256 configured to use the utterance length attribute to select, as a feature model for usage in an end determination of the user utterance, at least one of an acoustic feature model or a lexical feature model, and an estimation unit 258 configured to estimate an end point in the user utterance using the selected model. By using this dialog device, it is possible to shorten the waiting time until a response is output to a user utterance by a machine, and to realize a more natural conversation between a user and a machine.
