| Abstract: | The Twente humanoid head features a four degree of freedom neck and two eyes that are implemented by using cameras. The cameras tilt on a common axis, but can rotate sideways independently, thus implementing another three degrees of freedom. A vision processing algorithm has been developed that selects interesting targets in the camera images. The image coordinates of the selected target are provided to a motion control algorithm, which controls the head to look at the target. The degrees of freedom and redundancy of the system are controlled such that natural human-like motions are obtained. The head is capable of showing expressions through mouth and eyebrows by means of light projection from the inside part of the exterior shell. |
