Abstract
A communication robot includes an auditory information processing portion configured to recognize a volume of voice collected by a sound collection portion and generate an auditory attention map by projecting a sound position in a three-dimensional space onto a two-dimensional attention map in which the robot is located at a center, a visual information processing portion configured to generate a visual attention map using a face detection result obtained by detecting a face of a person from an image captured by an imaging portion and a motion detection result obtained by detecting a motion of the person, an attention map generation portion configured to generate an attention map by integrating the auditory attention map and the visual attention map, and a motion processing portion configured to control eyeball movements and motions of the communication robot using the attention map.
