Possibilities of Entertainment Robot

SCENARIO EXPLORATION AND IMPLEMENTATION FOR A NETWORK-BASED ENTERTAINMENT ROBOT Designing emotional interactions of an entertainment robot

For developing usable service robots, deeper knowledge about how the robot should cope with many situations is essential. We suggest some behavioral goals for better communication with network based entertainment robots. First, the robot should show diverse behaviors. Second, the diverse behaviors should be coherent with some traits of personality. Finally, the behaviors or responses of the rob...

Sensor system of a small biped entertainment robot

SDR-4X II is the latest prototype model of a small biped entertainment robot. It is the improved model of SDR-4X. In this paper we report on the sensing system of this robot, which is important and essential for a small biped entertainment robot which will be used in the home environment. One technology is the design of the motion sensing system, i.e. the inclination sensor system and the force...

Autonomous behavior control architecture of entertainment humanoid robot SDR-4X

Mechanical system of a small biped entertainment robot

SDR-4X is the latest prototype model which is a small humanoid type robot. We reported the outline of this robot last year. In this paper we discuss more about mechanical system which is important and original for a small biped entertainment robot which will be used in home environment. One technology is the design of actuators alignment in the body which enables dynamic motion performance. Ano...

An Entertainment Robot for Playing Interactive Ball Games

This paper presents a minimalistic robot for playing interactive ball games with human players. It is designed with a realistic entertainment application in mind, being safe, flexible, reasonably cheap, and reactive. This is achieved by a clever, minimalistic robot design with a 2 DOF roll tilt unit that moves a bat with a spherical head. The robot perceives its environment through a stereo cam...
