Interactive Evolutionary Computation for Appearance Design of Robot Partners

抄録

Recently, the need of users to products is variable to their preference, and current users prefer to the personal customization of products. A human-friendly and easy design support system is required for non-expert users. We proposed interactive design support systems based on evolutionary computation and fuzzy evaluation, and applied the proposed method to the appearance design of robot partners. However, it is very difficult to obtain human evaluation. Therefore, we propose a method of visualizing functions and capabilities through computer simulations. Furthermore, we use iPhone simulator to evaluate the human impression based on direct interaction with the designed robot partner. Finally, we discuss the effectiveness of the proposed system through several simulation and experimental results.
