为了开发实现智能机器与人之间心与心交流的“主动人机界面(AHI)”，我们一直在研究提高智能机器与人之间“感性”交流的方法。本文讨论了“脸部机器人”产生面部表情以表达与人类相似的人工情感的机械方面。由于执行器移动人脸机器人的面部皮肤，为了移动与S动作单元(AU)相对应的人脸机器人的控制点，我们选择了气压驱动的柔性微执行器，并设计了用于处理柔性微驱动器的铝制框架，然后将头骨框架制作在铝制框架上。由硅橡胶制成的面部机器人的皮肤覆盖了头骨框架。然后通过展示人脸机器人所表达的6种基本表情的人脸图像进行心理识别测试，结果表明，对于6种基本表情，正确识别率达到83.3%。如此高的比例显示了人脸机器人作为智能机器与人类之间的一种“感性”交流媒介的可能性。
In order to develop “Active Human Interface (AHI) ” that realizes heart-to-heart communication between intelligent machine and human being, we've been undertaking the investigation of the method for improving the sensitivity or “KANSEI” communication between intelligent machine and human being. This paper deals with the mechanical aspects of “Face Robot” that produces facial expressions in order to express the artificial emotions as similar as human being. As actuators move the face skin of the face robot, we select the flexible microactuator (FMA) driven by air pressure for the sake of moving the control points of the face robot corresponding to Action Unit (AU) s, and we design the aluminium frame of the Face Robot for disposing the FMA and then we make the skull frame onto the aluminium frame. The skin of the face robot made by silicon rubber covers up the skull frame. Then we undertake psychological recognition test by showing the face images of 6 basic facial expressions expressed on the Face Robot, and the results show us that the correct recognition ratio accomplishes 83.3% for 6 basic facial expressions. This high ratio shows the possibility of Face Robot as a “KANSEI” communication medium between intelligent machine and human being.
