摘要

人类与机器人之间的互动在本世纪增加了,变得更加个性化。机器人被应用于医药、制造、自动化等各个领域;然而,它们缺乏人类的互动能力,主要是因为人类60%以上的交流是非语言的,因此很难取代人类。这个项目展示了一个互动面部机器人,它能够模仿六种人类普遍的面部表情:快乐、惊讶、恐惧、悲伤、愤怒和厌恶。它可以通过语音识别与用户互动,以模仿职业/主要顾问。互动面部机器人是由一个橡胶面具来模拟皮肤。面部表情是通过基于面部质量-弹簧模型的运动肌肉结构产生的。9个伺服马达带动脸上不同的动作单元,创造出不同的表情。交互式面部机器人使用语音识别软件BitVoicer模仿职业/专业顾问,该软件识别用户的语音,并与LabVIEWTM程序交流,该程序评估答案并计算最佳职业/专业选择。在笔记本电脑上运行的LabVIEWTM程序还可以将机器人提出的预先定义的问题转换为语音,并与Arduino Mega交流面部要生成的表情。使用脉宽调制,Arduino Mega控制所需的伺服电机来创建必要的面部表情。交互式面部机器人已被证明是用户友好的,并与人类进行预先编程的互动。面部表情为机器人提供了更多类似人类的交互能力,使它们更适合需要与人类交互的应用。这款交互式面部机器人可以代替职业/主要顾问,也可以被编程为接待员、前台操作员,或者可以用于治疗应用。Keywords-HCI;面部表情;交互式机器人

Interactive Face Robot
The interaction between humans and robots has increased and become more personalized in this century. Robots are being used in various fields such as medicine, manufacturing, automation, etc.; however, they lack the interaction capability that is found in a human mainly because more than 60% of human communication is non-verbal, and thus, is hard to replace him. This project presents an interactive face robot which is able to mimic the six universal human facial expressions: happiness, surprise, fear, sadness, anger, and disgust. It can interact with the user using speech recognition in order to mimic a career/major adviser. The Interactive Face Robot is made out of a rubber mask to simulate the skin. Facial expressions are created by moving muscle-like structures based on a facial mass-spring model. Nine servo motors move the different action units in the face to create the different expressions. The Interactive Face Robot mimics a career/major adviser using speech recognition software, the BitVoicer, which recognizes the user’s speech and communicates with a LabVIEWTM program that evaluates the answers and calculates the best career/major choice. The LabVIEWTM program, which runs on a laptop computer, also converts the pre-defined questions that the robot asks into voice, and communicates with an Arduino Mega the expression that the face is to generate. Using pulse-width modulation, the Arduino Mega controls the needed servo motors to create the necessary facial expression. The Interactive Face Robot has proven to be user-friendly, and interacted with humans as pre-programmed. Facial expressions provide robots with more capabilities for human-like interactions, making them more adequate for applications requiring interactions with humans. This Interactive Face Robot can replace a career/major adviser, and can be programmed as a receptionist, front-desk operator, or can be used in therapeutic applications.
