Abstract
An android is a robot with a very humanlike appearance, and its appearance is very effective to human-robot communication. However we feel an uncanny impression even in a stationary state when it completely stops and this impression violates natural interaction. When we observe a relaxed sitting man, he shows us that he constantly generates body movements and turns his gaze on various objects, and keeps shifting the targets. Therefore, we adopted an "attractor selection model" to make the android to keep its attention on objects and shift its attention to informative objects according to stimulus. This paper proposes a mechanism to generate a natural idling motion in the android, using the gaze control system.
