Apparatus and method for selecting motion signifying artificial feeling

摘要

An apparatus for selecting a motion signifying artificial feeling is provided. The apparatus includes: an feeling expression setting unit configured to set probabilities of each feeling expression behavior performed for each expression element of a robot for each predetermined feeling; a behavior combination generation unit configured to generate at least one behavior combination combined by randomly extracting the feeling expression behaviors in each expression element one by one; and a behavior combination selection unit configured to calculate an average for the probabilities of the feeling expression behaviors included in each behavior combination for each feeling of a robot and select behavior combinations in which the average of the probabilities of the feeling expression behaviors most approximates the predetermined feeling value of a robot from each behavior combination.

1. An apparatus for selecting a motion expressing artificial feelings, the apparatus comprising:
a feeling expression setting unit configured to set a probability of each of feeling expression behaviors performed by each of expression elements of a machine with respect to each of predetermined feelings; a behavior combination generation unit configured to generate at least one behavior combination comprising at least one of the feeling expression behaviors randomly extracted from each of the expression elements one at a time, wherein the probability of each of the feeling expression behaviors includes at least one of probabilities of at least one of the predetermined feelings; and a behavior combination selection unit configured to:
calculate each of averages of the probability of the feeling expression behaviors included in the at least one behavior combination according to each of the predetermined feelings of the machine; andselect one of the at least one behavior combination having an approximate average, wherein the approximate average is any of the averages of the probability of each of the feeling expression behaviors according to each of the predetermined feelings closest to a predetermined feeling value of the machine.
