Abstract(in English) We propose a method for generating facial expression emphasized with cartoon techniques using a cellular-phone-type teleoperated android with a mobile projector. Elfoid is designed to transmit the speaker's presence to their communication partner using a camera and microphone, and has a soft exterior that provides the look and feel of human skin. To transmit the speaker's presence, Elfoid sends not only the voice of the speaker, but also emotional information captured by the camera and microphone. Elfoid cannot, however, display facial expressions because of its compactness and a lack of sufficiently small actuator motors. In this research, facial expressions are generated using Elfoid's head-mounted mobile projector to overcome the problem. Additionally, facial expressions are emphasized using the cartoon technique. The movements around the mouth and eyebrows are emphasized. Silhouette of face and shapes of eyes are varied by projection effects. Moreover, color stimuli that induce a particular emotion are added. In this experiment, representative face expressions are generated with Elfoid and emotions conveyed to users are investigated by subjective evaluation.
