Title
Three-Dimensional Robot Motion Design by Combining Interactive and Non-Interactive Evolutionary Computation for an Intelligent Transformable Phone Robot: BaBi
Abstract
This paper presents an interactive method for designing robot facial expressions and motions of an intelligent transformable phone robot BaBi. Designing an objective function to evaluate facial expressions and motions suitable for BaBi with an original structure is quite hard although users can easily imagine favorite motions. Therefore, the proposed method employs Interactive Evolutionary Computation (IEC) in addition to general optimization. The method allows users to add candidates to a case base when finding satisfying candidates and evaluates candidates' scores according to the case base. It applies a Different Evolution (DE) method to generate new candidates. Users may alternately push the buttons to generate face and body motion without making any selection of candidates with a selection interface. The method will make selection with the scores when users do not make any selection of candidates. Users can select or not select. It is an IEC process when users make selections, while it is a non-Interactive Evolutionary Computation (non-IEC) process when users do not make any selection, resulting in being a fusion of IEC and non-IEC. Adding more candidates to the case base can speed up generating the desired motion and promote the non-IEC progress and reduce the burden on users. Experimental results have shown that the proposed method produces the robot motions effectively.
