Abstract :
This paper describes controlling robot´s gaze which has relation to smoothness of turn-taking in communication. We considered the role of gaze in dialogues between human beings and examined it by simulation and our humanoid. Also we analyzed the features of gaze movement in dialogues by plural persons and confirmed that controlling gaze is efficient in confirmation of communication channel by implementing it on the humanoid
