DEVICE FOR CONTROLLING FACIAL MUSCLES OF ANDROID ROBOTS, CAPABLE OF CONTROLLING THE FACIAL MUSCLE BASED ON A CONTROL RANGE OF A CORRESPONDING MOTOR AND ALL RELATED MOTORS WHEN ONE MOTOR INTENDS TO MOVE TO THE TARGET POSITION

摘要

PURPOSE: A device for controlling facial muscles of android robots is provided to make expressions which is similar to human without the damage of the robot by similarly operating the same to be similar to a facial muscle mechanism by setting a facial muscle motor of the robot and a control range thereof to be corresponded to the facial muscle and a motion range thereof.;CONSTITUTION: A device (30) for controlling facial muscles of android robots comprises a motor unit (31), an initial range setting unit (32), a command receiver (33), and a control unit (34). The motor unit is formed by motors equipped on the facial muscle of the android robot to be corresponded to a facial muscle of human. The initial range setting unit sets an initial control range of two motors to be mutually related to a control range. The command receiver receives a command to move one motor to the target position. The command receiver controls to move a target motor to the target position. The control unit moves the motor related to the control range of the target motor and positions the target position inside the control range of the target motor if the target position is positioned outside of the control range of the target motor.;COPYRIGHT KIPO 2013;[Reference numerals] (31) Motor unit; (32) Control range setting unit; (33) Command receiver; (34) Control unit
