| Research Abstract |
The research project was aiming to clarify quantitatively speech production process and its control strategy by using a mechanical speech production model (Talking ROBOT) which is mimicking the human mechanism. We realized to reproduce speech sounds with various voice qualities such as breathy voice and creaky voice as well as laughter and laughing voice by using the laryngeal control of the model which is similar to the human control. We also examined the vocal cord vibration behavior and aero-acoustic phenomenon in generating these voice sounds by the direct measurement.
