Design and similarity evaluation on humanoid facial expression

This paper introduces the similarity evaluation on humanoid facial expression. For the purpose of understanding easily, firstly, the process of designing humanoid robot´s facial expressions is explored in brief. Then, a similarity function is proposed to evaluate the similarity of the robot facial motion compared with the human being quantitatively based on both the kinematics and dynamics factors, also including how to select the key value of parameter in similarity function. Finally, the effectiveness of the similarity function is confirmed by an experiment of facial expressions based on BHR-4 robot.
