Gestures and utterances are useful factors in communication. A gesture or an utterance has different meanings depending on related objects, situation and so on. Authors aim that a system recognizes these interactions' meanings and provides a service considering related objects. Proposed system combines gesture recognition and speech recognition as multimodal interaction, and manages the database with...
Recently, the number of elderly people increases in Japan, and the system which supports them is necessary. It is necessary for the system to recognize human action. Then, the system also uses Mining technology. The system confirms the action by using voice recognition. The authors construct this system based on the concept of "Kukanchi". The intelligent space made by basing on the concept...
We aim to create a novel prototype linear actuator with new structure applying an ER (Electro-Rheological) gel, a recent functional material. The actuator will be an all-purpose actuator satisfying characteristics for human-coexistence application. Such actuators for the application need large generative force, high speed response, good controllability, high safety, low friction, backdriveability...
This paper describes a robotic agent that can promote communication when people first meet. When two people meet for the first time, a communication mediator can be important because people often feel stressed and cannot talk comfortably. Our agent reduces their stress by using embodied entrainment and thus promotes communication. In the research field of embodied entrainment, suitable timing of a...
Gestures are useful factor in communication. A gesture has different meanings depending on related objects, situation and so on. Authors aim that a robot recognizes gesture meanings and provides a service considering related objects. Object position is one of the important factors for a robot to recognize a gesture. This paper focused on multimodal interaction between human and a robot to obtain object...
This paper describes a novel approach that can be used to determine the focal object that a robot is looking at and introduces the unique robotic eye, AttractiveEye. Humans have the visual input mechanism but do not have the output mechanism concerning the visual signal except gestures. AttractiveEye can communicate information regarding the color of an object by changing its color to match that of...
Robot was expected to provide service suitability in live coexistence robots and human. To provide a service, robots need to recognize environment, situation, context, and so on. Additionally, robots observe human motion from daily life, and obtain a relation between human motion, environment, and service. This information was embedded in environment for that robot generates a service. Authors called...
This paper presents a gestural interaction system between human and robot using pointing movement. The virtual room, which was based on actual room, can be shown an attended object with blinking. A user pointed out an object, which he/she wants to move. The robot moves to an indicated point, or moves an indicated object to point in actual room. Moreover, to interact at actual rooms, the system that...
