Abstract

After the debut of SDR-3X, SDR-4X made a stage appearance in 2002. It remains a small humanoid type robot and is expanding its capabilities of adaptability in home environment. Some of the new key technologies have been developed for SDR-4X. One is a Real-time Integrated Adaptive Motion Control. Another technology is a motion creating software system called “SDR Motion Creator” which allows to create and develop SDR’s attractive motion performances. In addition, speech synthesis and singing voice production are also developed for enhancement of entertainment applications. A cappella chorus performance and high-tempo dance performance are introduced as the attractive applications.
