Abstract
The “Ifbot” robot communicates with people by considering its own “emotions” and theirs. Figure 1 has a front and side view of Ifbot. It has sensibility technology. This is able to detects the emotions of its interlocutor from the tone of his/her voice and the words used. Ifbot also has unique facial-expression mechanisms. Figure 2 outlines the mechanisms, which it has 10 motors and 104 LEDs. Ifbot expresses its emotions, moods and other feelings on its face by using these mechanisms in communication. We first attempt to extract characteristics of Ifbot’s facial expressions by mapping these to its emotional space, and then analyze its emotional space psychologically.
