| Research Abstract |
This research aims to estimate emotion through the motion of the human that touches a pet type robot. A touch sensor combined with several bending sensors and capacitance sensors is implemented on the robot to measure the touching motion of the hands. By using the developed emotion estimating technique using Self-Organization Map or perceptron learning algorithm, human touching motion such as hitting, pushing, caressing and trembling, is distinguished and presented on a two dimensional map .
