Lab Meeting 13 August (Yu-Chun): Emotional Architecture for the Humanoid Robot Head ROMAN

2007 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation

Author: Jochen Hirth, Norbert Schmitz and Karsten Berns

Abstract:
Humanoid robots as assistance or educational robots is an important research topic in the field of robotics. Especially the communication of those robots with a human operator is a complex task since more than 60% of human communication is conducted non-verbally by using facial expressions and gestures. Although several humanoid robots have been designed it is unclear how a control architecture can be developed to realize a robot with the ability to interact with humans in a natural way. This paper therefore presents a behavior-based emotional control architecture for the humanoid robot head ROMAN. The architecture is based on 3 main parts: emotions, drives and actions which interact with each other to realize the human-like behavior of the robot. The communication with the environment is realized with the help of different sensors and actuators which will also be introduced in this paper.
