仿人面部表情机器人研究现状与展望

Current situation and prospects of research for humanoid countenance robot

仿人面部表情技术在实现仿人机器人与人的情感交流上起着非常重要的作用。文中首先对美国汉森机器人技术公司和麻省理工学院、日本早稻田大学和东京理科大学,以及我国哈尔滨工业大学的表情机器人研究进行了分析比较。然后讨论了表情机器人研究在FACS理论、仿人头部机械设计和机器人情感等方面的关键技术。最后对表情机器人发展中亟待解决的问题及趋势做了展望。

The humanoid countenance technology played an extraordinary important role on the realization of emotional communication between humanoid robot and human.In this paper an analytical comparison was carried out firstly on the researches of expression robots of Hanson Robotic Technology Company and MIT of America,Waseda University and Tokyo University of Japan,and Harbin Polytechnic University of our country.And then the key technologies of research of expression robot were discussed on the aspects of its FACS theory, humanoid head mechanical design and robot emotions etc.. Finally, analysis and prospects were made on the trend and problems need to be urgently solved in the development of expression robot.
