Robotic telecommunication system based on facial information measurement

Published: 28 January 2007 Publication History

Abstract

This paper proposes a multi-modal telecommunication system using a facial expression robot. We developed a telecommunication system which projects the facial expression of an operator to a remote place using the facial expression robot "Infanoid2." The facial information of the operator is measured using a stereo camera system and projected through a robot in order to communicate with another person in a remote location. Impression evaluation experiment is performed using this system. This paper discusses the effectiveness of robots as a telecommunication medium based on the experimental results.
