iCat: an animated user-interface robot with personality

Published: 25 July 2005 Publication History

Abstract

We developed a robotic research platform called "iCat" for studying social human-robot interaction. The platform consists of the robotic character "iCat", which is a desktop user-interface robot with mechanically rendered facial expressions. Recently, Philips Research made this platform available for universities and research laboratories to stimulate the momentum in Human-Robot Interaction research [5].
