パンダ型ロボットにおける感情認識及び感情表現システムの構築

抄録

In this paper, a panda-type emotion expression robot is developed, which can react to user’s interactions considering its own emotion status. The user's emotion is inferred from his/her facial expression, voice and pressure force when touching with the robot. With the emotion generation system, the emotion of the robot is estimated by combing the user’s emotion and its own emotion status. In this way, the robot can basically react to the user, adjusting its own emotion according to the users’ interactions, as well as showing its own personality. The effectiveness of the proposed method is proven by reacting experiments using a panda-type robot.
