Abstract :
This paper presents our work on the therapeutic robotics project EmotiRob which is the continuity of the MAPH (Active Media For the Handicap) project in emotion synthesis. Our aim is to maintain emotional interaction with children. For this, word, movement, and emotion synthesis are used. Here, we strive to define a robot face which is a compromise between expressive richness and mechanical simplicity. We propose a method for modeling and dynamizing a face able to express emotions.
