Facial Expression Analysis, Drive Control Design, and Imitation Reproduction for Humanoid Robots

Research on the Selection and Rapid Positioning of Facial Drive Points for Humanoid Robot Heads by Characterizing Human Facial Expressions

Atlas of 3D face models of facial muscle activation during standardized mimic exercises and basic emotional expressions in healthy adults

The presented atlas of holographic 3D models may help to understand the real facial expressions in 3D and the underlying facial muscle's activation as it is important for medical and psychosocial diagnostics and clinical studies.

Human Hand Kinematic Models for Sensor Glove-Based HMI: A Review

The reviewed literature indicates that rigid-body models remain the most widely used approach because of their computational efficiency and compatibility with wearable sensing systems, whereas musculoskeletal models provide greater anatomical realism at higher computational cost.

Emotional Motion Design and Evaluation of Humanoid Robot Based on PAD Model

The Pleasure-Arousal-Dominance model is introduced for emotional motion design of the humanoid robots, in order to enrich its emotional expression and a detailed rule that converts PAD parameters to 24 motion parameters of the humanoid robot is proposed.

DeformGrasp: A Human-Guided and Synthetic Data Framework for Learning-Based Deformable Object Grasping Using Anthropomorphic Robot Hands

An imitation learning framework for developing a model-free behavioral cloning (BC) policy that generates grasp strategies for three-dimensional deformable objects and results demonstrate that contact-driven augmentation and BC can support ARH grasping of three-dimensional deformable objects despite an initial small-nu...

Statistical shape modeling for digital nasal prosthesis design: Subjective and anthropometric validation.

PURPOSE Conventional nasal prosthesis design strongly depends on the artistic skills and experience of the anaplastologist. Digital approaches may reduce this dependency by automating patient-specific nasal shape generation. Statistical shape modeling (SSM) enables computation of a nose that aligns with an individual's...
