Abstract
This paper discusses how to control a robot's head and how to show images in robotic telecommunication. We developed a telecommunication system which projects facial information of a local operater to a remote site. The facial information are measured using a stereo camera system and are projected to the robot used to communicate with another operator in the remote site. The local operator can perceive the remote site via images captured by the camera mounted on the robot's head. The remote operator can also feel the behavior of the local operator from the robot motion. A telecommunication experiment between Tokyo and Nara showed the effectiveness of the facial information used.
