Abstract:

By analyzing the facial expression and motion of facial muscles, the mechanism and control systems of a facial robot are designed. The mechanism and motion of the corresponding virtual prototype are analyzed. A facial robot SHFR-1 is developed based on the results of the analysis. Experimental results of facial expressions show that SHFR-1 can express six basic expressions: happiness, sadness, surprise, fear, anger and disgust.
