Physiologically Inspired Blinking Behavior for a Humanoid Robot
نویسندگان
چکیده
Blinking behavior is an important part of human nonverbal communication. It signals the psychological state of the social partner. In this study, we implemented different blinking behaviors for a humanoid robot with pronounced physical eyes. The blinking patterns implemented were either statistical or based on human physiological data. We investigated in an online study the influence of the different behaviors on the perception of the robot by human users with the help of the Godspeed questionnaire. Our results showed that, in the condition with human-like blinking behavior, the robot was perceived as being more intelligent compared to not blinking or statistical blinking. As we will argue, this finding represents the starting point for the design of a ‘holistic’ social robotic be-

Flexible Foot/Ankle Based on PKM with Force/Torque Sensor for Humanoid Robot
This paper describes the development of a novel humanoid robot foot/ankle based on an orientation Parallel Kinematic Mechanism for intelligent and flexible control. With three identical Universal-Prismatic-Spherical prismatic-actuated limbs and a central Universal-Revolute passive limb, the PKM can perform three degrees of freedom rotation motions. In order to enable the humanoid robot safely t...

This paper describes the vision system for a humanoid robot, which includes the mechanism that controls eyeball orientation and blinking process. Along with the mechanism designed, the orientation of the camera, integrated with controlling servomotors. This vision system is a bio-mimic, which is designed to match the size of human eye. This prototype runs face recognition and identifies, match...
متن کاملBiologically Inspired Locomotion in Humanoid Robots
In this article, we present a biologically inspired behavior-based locomotion approach for humanoid robots. On the low level, locomotion is realised by a combination of rythmic pattern generators to produce walking motions and postural reflexes which keep the robot stable and balanced. A higher level behavior could achieve goal-directed movements by exerting influence on the low-level behaviors...
متن کاملAn Experimental Study on Blinking and Eye Movement Detection via EEG Signals for Human-Robot Interaction Purposes Based on a Spherical 2-DOF Parallel Robot
Blinking and eye movement are one of the most important abilities that most people have, even people with spinal cord problem. By using this ability these people could handle some of their activities such as moving their wheelchair without the help of others. One of the most important fields in Human-Robot Interaction is the development of artificial limbs working with brain signals. The purpos...
متن کاملPostural primitives: Interactive Behavior for a Humanoid Robot Arm
This paper describes the implementation of reex action for the arm of the humanoid robot Cog [5]. A set of biologically inspired postural primitives are used to create the arm motion. The primitives are combined in di erent ways to achieve reaching with grasping and withdrawal reexes, allowing the arm to interact safely with both objects and people. This paper describes the re exes, the biologi...
