Facial mimicry is crucial for human-like robots in human-robot interaction. The challenge is that the high diversity of facial expressions proposes difficulties in programming a robotic face to mimic human facial expressions using traditional methods. In this paper, we present a data-driven method t…
As a type of body language, gestures can largely affect the impressions of human-like robots perceived by users. Recent data-driven approaches to the generation of co-speech gestures have successfully promoted the naturalness of produced gestures. These approaches also possess greater generalizabili…
In order to solve the problems of current hearing aid devices, we make use of environment sensor network, and propose a hearing support system, where individual target and anti-target sound sources in the environment can be selected, and spatial information of the target sound sources is reconstruct…
We are dealing with the problem of generating natural human-like motions during speech in android robots, which have human-like appearances. So far, automatic generation methods have been proposed for lip and head motions of tele-presence robots, based on the speech signal of the tele-operator. In t…
We developed a system for detecting the speech activity intervals of multiple speakers by combining multiple microphone arrays and human tracking technologies. We also proposed a method for estimating the face orientation of the detected speakers. The developed system was evaluated in two steps: ind…
