Smile Like You Mean It: Driving Animatronic Robotic Face with . . . Mimicking human facial expressions is also the first step towards achieving adaptive facial reactions in robots Despite the practical value of such systems, extant research in this domain mostly focuses on the hardware design and pre-programmed facial expressions, allowing robots to select one of the facial expressions from a predefined set
Anthropomorphic Face Robot having Soft Mouth Mechanism with . . . Emotional facial expressions are powerful communication tools for humans To utilize these facial expressions in human-robot interactions and social robotics, we developed an anthropomorphic face robot with a soft mouth mechanism Realistic face deformation and amplified facial expression in cartoon characters requires a large range of motion in soft materials To solve this problem, we
Anthropomorphic Robot Faces Heads - narod. ru A facial expression robot FR-i was designed with moving eyes, eye brows, and flexible lips It looks in the direction of people nearby, detects facial features (such as eyes and mouth) and can copy or simply display a variety of expressions N A: 3: FloBi: CITEC Center of Excellence Cognitive Interaction Technology
This Animatronic Robotic Face Driven by Learned Models Mimics . . . For this project, a robotic face with soft skin was used It has a vision based self-supervised learning framework for facial mimicry As the researchers explain: By decomposing the learning process into a generative model and an inverse model, our framework can be trained using a single motor babbling dataset
Animatronic soft robots by additive folding - S Yim, C Sung . . . Audio-animatronics is the advanced application of the developed robots Their soft and continuous motions are synchronized with vocal sounds, which significantly enhances audio–visual interaction between the robots and observers This section introduces a case study of an animatronic human head (Figures 13 and 14) In order to embody the nose
Driving Animatronic Robot Facial Expression From Speech The proposed approach for creating a speech-driven animatronic robot face using LBS The approach comprises three major components: (1) skinning-oriented robot development designs and constructs the animatronic face paired with a kinematics simulator based on the target skinning appearance, (2) skinning motion imitation learning involves training an LBS-based model from 3D human demonstrations
Real-Time Expression Control System for Wearable Animatronics A person’s face has 22 types of facial muscles which create the various facial expressions of a person when moved in complex ways The shape of the face’s skin surface also changes with change in facial expression This study recognizes these changes using multiple photo reflectors and estimates the facial expressions of the interior performer
