CommU

説明

CommUはVstoneのResearch-Robotsです。 付き添い、開発、研究向けに設計されています。 主な数値：14 自由度。

CommU (Communication Unity) is Vstone's social dialogue robot for researchers, a tabletop robot that shows people conversations between several robots so that the human partner feels a stronger sense of taking part in the dialogue. It was developed in the JST ERATO Ishiguro Symbiotic Human-Robot Interaction Project with Osaka University. Its head alone has 8 axes, moving the eyes, eyelids and mouth, out of 14 axes in total (torso 2, arms 2 x 2, neck 3, eyes 3, eyelid 1, mouth 1), all with torque limiters, so groups of robots can glance at a participant, ask questions or seek agreement with subtle human-like behaviour. An Intel Edison running Linux, a camera, microphone, speaker and Wi-Fi let researchers build image and speech recognition apps, and motions can be made in the VstoneMagic block environment.
