Abstract
Given the remarkable recent progress in robotics research, we can envision the day when robots and humans coexist and robots become closely integrated into our daily lives. This means endowing robots with the ability to communicate so they perceive human emotion, adapt their behavior to humans, and sense situations even without explicit instructions. Supposing that humans coexist with robots, we expect to realize daily communication with robots and communication support by robots. To achieve that, robots have to have abilities that "perception", to perceive mental state or mood of humans, and "communication", to communicate it. Regarding ability of "perception", we suggested our approach using single dry-electrode brain sensor, NeuroSky MindSet, and experimented with it. As a result, by using our approach, we can discriminate subjects state high accuracy. However, brain-wave is affected by muscle potential. In this paper, we present our research for affection by muscle potential with eye movement.
