| Abstract(in English) | This paper introduces a gaze-communicative system for a human and a stuffed-toy robot with both behaviors of joint attention and eye-contact reactions. These behaviors are corresponding to the user's gaze which is estimated by ambient gaze-tracking. As the first step, 1) the stuffed-toy robot reacts joint attention directing its head toward the same position to the user's gaze, and as the next step, 2) the robot performs eye-contact reactions from several sets of motion when the user gazes at the robot. For free and natural interaction, we adopted our remote gaze-tracking method based on 3D eye-balls models. From demonstration experiments, we confirmed that i) joint attention draws the user's interest along with the user-guessed interest of the robot, ii) "eye contact" brings the user a favorable feeling for the robot, and iii) this feeling is enhanced when "eye contact" is used in combination with "joint attention." |
