Abstract :
Androids are potentially required to show human-like behavior, because their appearance resembles humans´ physical features. Therefore, we propose a gaze motion planning method. Within this method, we control the convergence of eyes and the ratio of eye angle to head angle, which leads to a more precise estimation of gaze direction. We implemented our method on the android Actroid-SIT and conducted experiments for evaluation of the effects of our method. Through these experiments, we achieved a common guidance for androids when planning more precise gaze.
