Abstract

In recent years, gaze input interfaces have been gaining attention as a contactless control method for individuals with physical limitations. In this study, we developed a gaze-based input interface for the remotely operated communication robot “ Marut ”allowing users to control the robot by fixating on specific regions of a PC screen. The system interprets sustained gaze as intentional input, enabling both robot movement and the switching of emotional expressions. Furthermore, we conducted an evaluation experiment to examine whether the emotional expressions used in this study were effectively conveyed by Marut and to assess the impressions they gave to users.
