In this paper, we develop a robot which can detect and track a human face for the purpose of developing an autonomous robot that communicates with people. In order to detect a human face from a camera image, we pay attention to flesh color of a person and develop a technique for detecting and pursuing a flesh-colored area as a face. The developed robot simulates a human head. We install two USE cameras on the part which are eyes of the robot head. The robot head can perform pan-tilt movement by two servomotors. In the performed experiment, the face of a person walking around in front was detected and tracked successfully by the developed robot head.
