Emotion communication method of pet robot

Abstract

The invention discloses an emotion communication method of a pet robot. The emotion communication method comprises the following steps: actions, expressions and sound instruction information of a person are detected through a data acquisition module; the detected information content is analyzed through a processor, and a corresponding control instruction is sent to a motion module, an image outputmodule and a voice output module; and the motion module controls movement of the head and the four limbs according to a control instruction of the processor, the image output module displays actionsof the eyes and / or displays different images to express the emotion of the pet robot, and the voice output module simulates output of animal sounds to express the emotional state of the pet robot. Through different actions of the head and four limbs of the pet robot and the arrangement of a display at the eye positions of the pet robot, the actions of eyes are simulated and different icons are displayed to show different emotions of the pet robot, and the pet robot does not simply talk with a person through voice, so that the communication mode between the pet robot and the person with richeremotion expression is realized.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of artificial intelligence, in particular to an emotion communication method for a pet robot. Background technique [0002] A pet robot is a machine used to simulate pets such as cats and dogs raised by humans. As a substitute for pets, it is used to be close to the elderly, children, nursing facilities, caring for family members, owners or others. Realize that pets give people who touch them a sense of healing and comfort. [0003] Such as figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of information exchange between humans and robots in the prior art. Information exchange is different from emotional exchange. It is for the purpose of sending and receiving information. The robot is equipped with a display screen of a personal computer, and communicates with the robot by operating the display screen or voice . [0004] Existing communication between robots and pets is usually limited to simple dialogues, and it is impossible t...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] Existing communication between robots and pets is usually limited to simple dialogue, unable to express a variety of emotions through the body movements of pet robots

For example, when people live with pets, the owner will touch the pet to express love, and the pet will respond accordingly, but it is difficult for pet robots to simulate the actions of animals such as dogs and cats, and it is difficult for the owner to know The pet’s current emotion, in the case of keeping a real pet, the owner can judge whether the cat and dog can accept the owner’s emotional expression through the pet’s eyes, facial movements, voice, etc. However, if it is a pet robot, it is conceivable that such Expression is difficult to fully realize, which makes it difficult for existing pet robots to fully realize emotional communication with pet owners
