創作意圖 --“portray the sense of conscious emotion such as a human can produce” --“If we understand identify with robots which can learn the functions and usages of emotional expressions from interactions with people, get a good command of them accordingly with situations and context, could we distinguish them from the existence of those with real minds and emotions? ” --“As the first step to realize this, I thought two conditions were necessary: the eyes to detect the appearance of another’s face, and the face to be made appealing to the users eye. ”

SEER (Simulative Emotional Expression Robot) is an animatronic humanoid robot that generates gaze and emotional facial expressions to improve animativity, lifelikeness, and impresssiveness by the integrated design of modeling, mechanism, materials, and computing. The robot can simulated a user's movement, gaze, and facial expressions detected by a camera sensor. This system can be applied to puppetry, telepresence avatar, and interactive automation.
