Sympathy Interface Based on the Entrainment of Embodied Interaction and Communication

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

The human-entrained embodied interaction and communication systems were developed for sympathy interface based on the entrainment mechanism of the embodied rhythms between speech and body movements such as nodding. Some actual applications pertaining to robot/CG and human interactive communication were also demonstrated. In particular, the speech-driven embodied interaction system, such as InterRobot and InterActor, is a robust and practical communication support system for everyday living, which activates embodied interaction and communication in a new communication mode by using only speech input. The speech-driven entrainment technology for enhancing interaction and communication would be expected to form the foundation of mediated communication technologies as well as the methodology for the analysis and understanding of human interaction and communication. This technology has been commercialized and marketed for a new embodied communication industry such as social game.
