| Research Abstract |
Robots and virtual agents have each own (given) character for each product using their original multimodal data set of voices and motions. However, their given characters sometimes interrupt various expressions for communicative purposes. In this research theme, we have proposed a multimodal expression capturing method for individualization of the anthropomorphic embodied media.
Multimodal-FONT is the name of the database which this project has captured. As expressed in the name, each individual data of the multimodal expressions for daily greeting was captured with varied age groups and genders. Finally we could gather over 30 persons' multimodal expressions : voice, head and upper-body gestures, and directions of the gaze at the same time. The recorded data are analyzed using the prosody of the voice, motion characters, and gaze patterns, and variation widths of the whole expressions. As results, we could confirm that there are some kinds of expression patterns relevant or irrelevant to their gender groups or age groups.
