A humanoid learns to look with its whole face
What changedA gaze system separates target selection from motion generation, coordinating eyes, neck, and eyelids from human recordings in an eleven-degree-of-freedom robot. Small gaze motions can make a humanoid easier to read, and the physical demo shows real-time coordinated movement rather than a rendered face.
The useful part
Why it matters
Small gaze motions can make a humanoid easier to read, and the physical demo shows real-time coordinated movement rather than a rendered face.
Keep in mind
Good to know
The study does not yet establish that people perceive the motion as more natural or that target choice works reliably in open scenes.
