SEER

Abstract

SEER (Simulative Emotional Expression Robot) is an animatronic humanoid robot that generates gaze and emotional facial expressions to improve animativity, lifelikeness, and impresssiveness by the integrated design of modeling, mechanism, materials, and computing. The robot can simulated a user?s movement, gaze, and facial expressions detected by a camera sensor. This system can be applied to puppetry, telepresence avatar, and interactive automation.
