Abstract
It is necessary for communication robots to execute reflex action and optional action adequately to increase affinity of communication robots. Therefore, it is important to establish algorithm considering relationship between reflex action and optional action. We proposed the algorithm based on interaction of reflex model and emotion model. In this paper, we employed attentive action and avoidance action as reflex action and facial expression as optional action. The algorithm executes suppression or acceleration of attentive action and avoidance action depending on circumstance of emotion model. This allows robots to execute reflex action and optional action adequately. Then, through the results of sensory evaluation, we confirmed the validity of established algorithm.
