| Summary: | Recent research in humanoid robot keeps focusing on the realistic interaction between humans and humanoid robots in manners as intuitive and natural as human-to-human conversation. This leads to complex and intricate interactions between the robot system elements. The demands for interaction with human require humanoid robot with a head that can express and recognize human feelings like happiness and anger etc. In this dissertation, a humanoid robot head called Amir-Il was designed and controlled in order to interact with people. This includes creating a framework of components to be controlled centrally by a PC based controller. Several motors connected to the controller through an interfacing circu·it in order to generate the facial parts movements. The controller will also receive feedback from the components to ensure the desired expression is achieved. Amir-II is capable of producing 4 different facial expressions, i.e. happy, angry, sad and bored. Amir-II will mimic the expressions showed by the human that sit in front of the camera in real time. The facial expressions are conveyed through various facial features as the mouth shape, together with the positioning of the eyebrows and the eyelids. |
