PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To produce facial expressions of a human using a simple structure, reduce the size and weight of an entire head, provide good replaceability of simulated movable parts such as eyebrows and a mouth or a simulated face, and to improve maintenability. SOLUTION: A facial expression producing robot 10 is provided with the simulated face 12 simulating a face of the human, eyebrow parts 14 operably attached on the front side of the simulated face 12, and an expression forming means 16 to simulate and express facial expressions of the human by operating the eyebrow parts 14. The simulated face 12 is composed of a magnetically permeable material and a thickness. The expression forming means 16 includes front-side members 22 attached to the eyebrow parts 14, back-side members 24 disposed facing the front-side members 22 across the simulated face 14 therebetween, and a moving mechanism 30 to move the back-side members 24. Either one of the front-side member 22 and the back-side member 24 is composed of a magnet; the other is composed of a magnet or a magnetic substance. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
