INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM AND INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD

To achieve colorful motion expression of an autonomous moving body through easier posture control.SOLUTION: An information processing system includes a motion control unit that controls a motion of an autonomous moving body. The autonomous moving body includes a wheel that can be stowed inside a main unit or jutted out of the main unit. When the autonomous moving body moves, the motion control unit causes the wheel to jut out of the main unit and sustain a standing condition, drives or controls the wheel, and controls the posture of the autonomous moving body. When the autonomous moving body is at a halt, the motion control unit stows the wheels inside the main unit and thus causes the autonomous moving body to stand still in a sitting condition.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 15 【課題】自律移動体の豊かな動作表現をより容易な姿勢制御で実現する。【解決手段】自律移動体の動作を制御する動作制御部、を備え、前記自律移動体は、本体内部への格納、および本体外部への突出が可能な車輪を備え、前記動作制御部は、前記自律移動体の移動に際し、前記車輪を本体外部へ突出させ立位状態を維持するとともに、前記車輪の駆動制御および前記自律移動体の姿勢制御を行い、前記自律移動体の停留時に、前記車輪を本体内部へと格納することで座位状態で静止させる、情報処理装置が提供される。【選択図】図１５
