Abstract

On the basis of the embodied entrainment between speech and body motions such as nodding in face-to-face communication, embodied communication system for mind connection (E-COSMIC) is developed for supporting essential human interaction and communication. E-COSMIC consists of the embodied virtual communication system for human interaction analysis by synthesis and the speech-driven embodied interaction system for embodied interaction and communication support on the basis of the analysis by using the embodied virtual communication system. Some actual applications of E-COSMIC to human interface are demonstrated on robot and human interactive communication. The system would form the foundation of mediated communication technologies as well as the methodology for the analysis and understanding of human interaction and communication.
