Abstract

To give richer facial expressions to humanoid countenance robot therefore achieve more harmonious interaction with people, a mechanical design of humanoid expressions is proposed by analyzing the generation of basic expressions and muscle movements, providing a hardware platform support for further study. The robot head consists of the mechanisms of eyebrows, eyelids, eyeballs, and neck, as well as the mechanism of jaw for mastication movement. Their working principles are described in detail, and several design choices are compared. The choice of mechanical design is finally made, and the required further research is specified.

Key words： mechanical design;  affection;  expression;  human-robot interaction; humanoid countenance robot
