| Research Abstract |
The embodied interaction and communication technology for advanced media society was proposed through the development of Embodied Communication System for Mind Connection (E-COSMIC) for supporting essential human interactive communication on the basis of the entrainment mechanism of the embodied rhythms between speech and body motions such as nodding. The concept of E-COSMIC and the prototype system were introduced. Some actual applications were also demonstrated on robot-human interactive communication. In particular, the speech-driven embodied interaction system such as InterActor and InterRobot is a robust and practical communication support system for everyday living, which activates embodied interaction and communication in a new communication mode by only speech input. E-COSMIC would be expected to form the foundation of mediated communication technologies as well as the methodology for the analysis and understanding of human interaction and communication, and to develop a new embodied communication industry for supporting essential human interactive communication.
