Abstract :
This paper is aimed to develop a face robot that has a human appearance and can display facial expressions. To display facial expressions, a fishing net based structure is constructed to produce a muscular structure and mimic human face behavior. A tear mechanism is even developed to perform the crying behavior like a human being. Through the experiments, the more natural relationship between humans and robots can be correlated.
