Android robots that have a human-like appearance have been developed recently. A one of the purpose of android robots is to realize natural communication between human and robot by implementing human-like behaviors. In human communication, since it is said that facial expressions contribute to face-to-face communication effectively as a non-verbal medium, we have been developing the face robot that...
A robust self-consistent humanoid navigation method is proposed. For any given targeted position and orientation, the robot robustly chases them without bankruptcies such as leg-crossing, excess stride and deadlock. The key idea is to define a canonical stance with respect to the target independently from the current configuration, and trace them by each step alternately. It locally prioritizes the...
Android robots that have a human-like appearance have been developed recently. The purpose of android robots is to realize realistic communication between human and robot by implementation of human-like behaviors. Then knowledge and techniques for generating human-like natural motions and behaviors with android robot are required. In human, head and body are moved consciously or unconsciously even...
A handy humanoid robot navigation scheme is proposed. The whole-body motion of the robot is orchestrated from a motion of a manually guided body part by an input device and that of synergetically coordinated body parts. Even though a simple input device such as a joystick is used, a variety of motions are realized in realtime by switching the directly-guided point without interruptions. The key technique...
In face-to-face communication, we use not only verbal medium but also non-verbal medium for communication. In particular, facial expressions are very important for emotional communication because they show emotions and feelings effectively. Therefore it is considered that facial expressions are necessary in order to make human-robot communication more naturally. In this paper, ldquoFace Robotrdquo...
Android robots that have a human-like appearance have been developed recently. The purpose of android robots is to realize realistic communication between human and robot by implementation of human-like behaviors. Then knowledge and techniques for generating human-like natural motions and behaviors with android robot are required. In face-to-face communication, we can observe that the speaker nods...
The purpose of this study is to develop an interactive communication system that communicates with human beings emotionally. Since the face and its expressions are the most important role for natural communication, we have been developing a face robot that can express facial expressions similar to human beings. In this study, we show a new type face robot SAYA. All McKibben pneumatic actuators are...
