ABSTRACT
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.

Overcoming the Uncanny Valley: Displays of Emotions Reduce the Uncanniness of Humanlike Robots
HRI '16: The Eleventh ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human Robot InteractionIn this paper we show empirically that highly humanlike robots make thoughts of death more accessible, leading to perceptions of uncanniness and eeriness of such robots. Rather than reducing the humanlikeness of robots, our research suggests the ...
Face on a Globe: A Spherical Robot that Appears Lifelike Through Smooth Deformations and Autonomous Movement
HRI '22: Proceedings of the 2022 ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot InteractionIn this paper, we provide insights into a design approach for non-anthropomorphic robots. The diversity of robot design methods is becoming increasingly important. As the applications of robots become more diverse, how these robots interact with humans ...
On the Eeriness of Service Robots with Emotional Capabilities
HRI '16: The Eleventh ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human Robot InteractionThe uncanny valley hypothesis suggests that high human-likeness of humanoid robots is associated with feelings of uncanniness (eeriness, creepiness). Based on the literature on mind perception two aspects of human-likeness were distinguished. An ...
