Design of an Anthropomorphic Robot Head
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes the design of a robot head featuring cameras and microphones in a system geared to active perception. The principal motivation behind the design is that the head should exhibit degrees of freedom, physical dimensions and sensor location equivalent to that of a human head. The overall goal for the project is to develop sensory reflexes for the head with a speed and operation similar to that found in biological systems. Implementation of the vergence reflex is described and some performance results are presented.

Introduction: In recent years, the use of magnetic resonance (MR) images in radiation treatment planning has drawn considerable attention. However, although the extent of a tumor can be determined in great detail on MR images, the geometric accuracy of these images is limited by distortions stemming from the inhomogeneity of the static background magnetic field, the nonlineari...

This paper describes two preliminary experiments concerned with the construction of a robot head. The initial design and research is aimed at producing a system with two cameras and two microphones on a system capable of operating with the same degrees of freedom and reflex times as its biological counterpart. Whilst the primary goal of the project is develop an anthropomorphic system with the ...

Omni directional mobile robots have been popularly employed in several applications especially in soccer player robots considered in Robocup competitions. However, Omni directional navigation system, Omni-vision system and solenoid kicking mechanism in such mobile robots have not ever been combined. This situation brings the idea of a robot with no head direction into existence, a comprehensi...
متن کاملEncouraging HRI with a minimalistic and expressive robotic head
One of the main goals of social robotics is to design lifelike social robots which share everyday life with people and support them in daily activities [2]. Therefore social robots need to intuitively interact with naive users. We do not design social robots for trained expert users, but for everyone. In other words we need to design communicative functionalities, which are natural and easy to ...
