Abstract
This paper describes gaze guidance with emotional motion of a head robot, called Kamin-FA 1. We propose to use not only the gaze control of the robot but also the facial expression combining with the head motion to guide a human being's gaze to thetarget. We provide the information of the gaze target intuitively to human based on the shared attention with the emotionalcommunication robot Kamin-FA1. The robot has a facial expression function using a curved surface display. The curved surfacedisplay is composed of a dome screen, a fish-eye lens and a projector. This technique generates a facial expression easily comparedwith other methods of mechanical facial expression. The robot has a neck mechanism to move the head. We show the effectivenessof this proposed method on gaze guidance as well as presentation of good or bad, safe or dangerous situation by the measurements ofhuman gaze movements and psychological experiments.
