The human face is the main organ of expression, capable of transmitting emotions that are almost instantly recognised by fellow beings. In this paper, we describe the development of a life-like facial display based on the principles of biomimetic engineering. A number of paradigms which can be used for developing believable emotional displays, borrowing from elements of anthropomorphic mechanics and control and materials science are outlined. These are used to lay down the technological and philosophical premises necessary to construct a man-machine interface for expressing emotions through a biomimetic mechanical head. Applications in therapy to enhance social skills and emotion understanding in people with autism are discussed.

Abstract
The human face is the main organ of expression, capable of transmitting emotions that are almost instantly recognised by fellow beings. In this paper, we describe the development of a life-like facial display based on the principles of biomimetic engineering. A number of paradigms which can be used for developing believable emotional displays, borrowing from elements of anthropomorphic mechanics and control and materials science are outlined. These are used to lay down the technological and philosophical premises necessary to construct a man-machine interface for expressing emotions through a biomimetic mechanical head. Applications in therapy to enhance social skills and emotion understanding in people with autism are discussed.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
