Trace object images in motion
Two types of modes, ﹍trace any moving objects﹎ and ﹍trace only designated user object,﹎ are may be utilized. The former is utilized when ﹍there is nobody to talk with﹎ and the latter when ﹍the communication partner is decided﹎.
In such cases as the parameter of the robot is set to "Distract Attention", or when the topic of conversation is of no interest, or when the robot is not familiar with the user, it is possible to produce such a performance as the robot becoming distracted by other moving objects even in the ﹍User Tracing﹎ mode.
Face recognition
Recognition ability can be enhanced with additional processes such as posture modification or ray processing.
An unregistered user﹊s face can be memorized dynamically as well as a registered user﹊s face to be reflected in conversations.
Human figure detector
Conventional face recognition systems have such problems as not easily distinguishing between real human faces and photographs.
This robot can distinguish human figures by infrared ray sensors or human﹛complexion detectors.
Lip recognition / movement recognition
The robot picks out lips from a human face to detect if the lips have moved for speaker recognition.
Distance detection by parallax
Cameras built in both eyes of the robot measure the distance to the target object. The parallax can also be used as a function identifying the speaker.
