In a system for animating an object along a music, a sequencer module sequentially provides music control information and a synchronization signal in correspondence with the music to be played. A parameter setting module is operable to set motion parameters effective to determine movements of movable parts of the object. An audio module is responsive to the synchronization signal for generating a sound in accordance with the music control information to thereby play the music. A video module is responsive to the synchronization signal for generating a motion image of the object in matching with progression of the music. The video module utilizes the motion parameters to basically control the motion image, and utilizes the music control information to further control the motion image in association with the played music.

The orthodontic alignment of misaligned teeth includes preparing a digital and/or physical overlay model which is the superimposed positioning of the patient's original misaligned dentition with the target or final position. The superimposition of one upon the other creates an open space through which teeth may move in a natural manner, allowing for a treatment plan that takes into account the physical interaction of one tooth with another or the differences in tooth movement rates due in part to differences in underlying bone density or the like. An aligner tray fabricated using the model will likewise represent the before and after tooth positions and will also have the open space to allow tooth movement. Force exerting structures are preferably placed into the aligner tray to impinge upon the patient's teeth in a prescribed manner when the aligner tray is inserted into the patient's oral cavity.

The invention discloses a non-360-degree targeting navigation method for detecting a robot. The position of the robot at any time is obtained by a robot positioning system; the presence and distribution of obstacles within a certain area in front of the robot and historical route situation are analyzed according to the measurement data of a distance measurement sensor on the robot; and according to different obstacle distribution information, the robot can choose two walking ways such as pure straight way or pure steering way, namely a straight forwarding mode directly toward a target point and a walking mode of bypassing the encountered obstacle, thus realizing fixed target point non-collision navigation in an environment with unknown obstacle distribution. The method does not require therobot to have 360-degree obstacle detecting range, takes the actual size of the robot into consideration, and imposes no limitation to the obstacles (such as edge shape thereof and the like) in an unknown environment, thus having wide scope of application.
