Complex human-computer interfaces are more and more making use of high-level concepts extracted from sensory data for detecting aspects related to emotional states like fatigue, surprise, boredom, etc. Repetitive sensory patterns, for example, almost always will mean that the robot or agent will switch to a "bored" state, or that it will turn its attention to other entity. Novel structures in sensory data will normally cause surprise, increase of attention or even defensive reactions. The aim of this work is to introduce a simple mechanism for detecting such repetitive patterns in sensory data. Basically, sensory data can present two types of monotonous patterns: constant frequency (be it zero or greater than zero, be it a unique frequency or a wide spectrum) and repetitive frequency spectrum changes. Both types are considered by the proposed method in a conceptually and computationally simple framework. Experiments carried out using sensory data extracted both from the visual and auditory domains show the validity of the approach.

: Robotics, Humanoid robot, ICub, Head sub-system, Design : I am presenting a new design for the head sub-system of the humanoid robot iCub. ICub is a humanoid robot platform that has been conceived as a result of the development of the European Project RobotCub. Mechanical problems of the current head sub-system of iCub robot have been studied in order to figure out improvements for a new design. The feasibility of the new design has been checked through dynamic simulations of the head operations. The successful results have shown plots with curve evolutions of smooth shapes and suitable values of important kinematic and dynamic parameters of the head structure.

“…Therefore, Robots will provide a high quality, no error services to human. There are a lot of needed techniques for developing intelligence robot, especially Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) technique that naturally interact between human and robot using images and voice information from cameras microphones has been researched in places [4]. Among these techniques, sound source localization finds the direction of a person who calls the robot for particular services.…”

In this paper, we present a Sound Source Localization (SSL) with robot auditory system for a network-based intelligent service robots that give a service in variety places. The main goal of this paper is to analysis performance of SSL algorithm in real environment for robot. We gathered the sound databases in museum, conference hall and restaurant for SSL experiments. These places will be served by intelligent robot in actually. With using these databases, we compared some of SSL algorithms and searched that we can use the SLL for intelligent robot in real environment. Algorithms for calculating time delay are based on the advanced cross correlation and GCC (Generalized Cross-Correlation)-PHAT(Phase Transform) by frequency characteristics for calculating time delay estimation. The robot platform used in this work is wever-R2, which is a network-based intelligent service robot developed at Intelligent Robot Research Division in ETRI.
