Fuzzy Evaluation for Evolutionary Robot Vision

Abstract

Communications between human and the robot have been widely researched. The robot enters not only industry but also the home, and helps people's daily lives or amuses. Various robots have been developed to communicate with human. However, there is still a problem that the natural communications cannot be done. For one thing, the robot is not recognizing the person who is speaking. Therefore when talking, the content of the utterance does not be suitable for the place, and the flow of the conversation is not understood. To solve this, it is necessary to choose the content of the conversation suited for each person. The purpose of this research is to recognize human's faces for the natural communication. The method of recognizing human's face is clarified based on study results of the cognitive psychology, and it proposes the methodology concerning the feature extraction to detect human's face.
