Learning Behaviors as Mappings from environment’s features to interaction procedures probability Verbal response generation (text Speech from response and TTS). microphones Stored sounds Automatic software Head Image features construction from cameras movements from examples and facial (decision tree, bi bi-- emotions Sonars and other decomposition, sensors Ashenhurst,, DNF) Ashenhurst generation Neck Neck and shoulders and upper movement generation body movement Emotions and generation knowledge memory 

14 . Robot Head Construction, 1999 High school summer camps, hobby roboticists, undergraduates Furby head with new control Jonas We built and animated various kinds of humanoid heads with from 4 to 20 DOF, looking for comical and entertaining values. 

15 .Mister Butcher Latex skin from Hollywood 4 degree of freedom neck 

16 .Robot Head Construction, 2000 Skeleton Alien We use inexpensive servos from Hitec and Futaba, plastic, playwood and aluminum. The robots are either PC-interfaced, use simple micro-controllers such as Basic Stamp, or are radio controlled from a PC or by the user. 

17 .Technical Construction, 2001 Details Marvin the Crazy Robot Adam 

18 . Virginia Woolf 2001 heads equipped with microphones, USB cameras, sonars and CDS light sensors 

19 . 2002 Max BUG (Big Ugly Robot) Image processing and pattern recognition uses software developed at PSU, CMU and Intel (public domain software available on WWW). Software is in Visual C++, Visual Basic, Lisp and Prolog. 

20 . Visual Feedback and Learning based on Constructive Induction Uland Wong, 17 years old 2002 

21 . 2002, Japan Professor Perky Professor Perky with automated speech recognition (ASR) and text-to-speech (TTS) capabilities • We compared several commercial speech systems from Microsoft, Sensory and Fonix. •Based on experiences in highly noisy environments and with a variety of speakers, we selected Fonix for both ASR and TTS for Professor Perky and Maria robots. • We use microphone array 1 dollar latex skin from Andrea Electronics. from China

24 .Animation of eyes and eyelids 

25 . Cynthia, 2004, June 

26 . Currently the hands are not moveable. We have a separate hand design project. 

27 . Software/Hardware Architecture •Network- 10 processors, ultimately 100 processors. •Robotics Processors. ACS 16 •Speech cards on Intel grant •More cameras •Tracking in all robots. •Robotic languages – Alice and Cyc-like technologies. 

28 .Face detection localizes the person and is the first step for feature and face recognition. Acquiring information about the human: face detection and recognition, speech recognition and sensors. 

29 .Face features recognition and visualization.
