Abstract

In order to develop an active human interface (AHI) that realizes heart-to-heart communication between intelligent machine and human being, we have been undertaking the investigation of the method for improving the sensitivity of "KANSEI" communication between intelligent machine and human being. This paper deals with the mechanical aspects of "Face Robot" that produces facial expressions in order to express the artificial emotions as in human being. We select the flexible microactuator (FMA) driven by air pressure for the sake of moving the control points of face robot corresponding to action units (AUs), and then we design and construct a 3 dimensional human-face-like robot. Then we undertake recognition test by showing the face images of 6 basic facial expressions expressed on the face robot, and the results show us that the correct recognition ratio accomplishes 83.3% for 6 basic facial expressions. This high ratio indicates the possibility of the face robot as a "KANSEI" communication media between intelligent machine and human being.<>

面向主动人机界面的人脸机器人研究——人脸机器人的机理及6种基本面部表情的表达

为了开发智能机器与人之间实现心与心交流的主动人机界面(AHI)，我们一直在研究提高智能机器与人之间“感性”交流灵敏度的方法。本文研究了“面部机器人”的机械方面，它产生面部表情，以表达人类的人工情感。选择气压驱动的柔性微致动器(FMA)，使人脸机器人的控制点与动作单元(au)相对应，设计并构造了三维仿人脸机器人。然后我们通过展示人脸机器人所表达的6种基本面部表情的人脸图像进行识别测试，结果表明我们对6种基本面部表情的正确识别率达到83.3%。这一高比率表明，人脸机器人有可能成为智能机器与人类之间的“感性”交流媒介。
