역대 최고의 흥행작인 영화 '아바타'에서 등장하는 휴머노이드 크리처는 실제 배우의 얼굴을 알아볼 수 있도록 디자인 되어 주제에 관련된 CG와 실사가 조화를 이루며 영화의 사실감을 더한다. 영화에서 뿐만 아니라 근래의 다양한 미디어에서 실제 인물을 알아볼 수 있는 휴머노이드 크리처의 디자인이 많이 사용될 것으로 예상된다. 본 연구에서는 인물인식을 위한 휴머노이드 크리처 디자인을 위하여, 대상과의 유사성을 위한 프로토타입으로부터의 편차를 과장하는 캐리커처의 주요한 컨셉을 응용한다. 또한 대상의 특징 요소를 추출하는 기준을 제시하고 그 결과에 의해 과장된 인물의 이미지를 다른 생명체와 합성하여 제작 결과를 실험하였다.

Most of the recently developed robots are human friendly robots which imitate an animal or human such as entertainment robot, biomimetic robot and humanoid robot. Interest in these robots is increased because the social trend is focused on health, welfare, and graying. By these social backgrounds, robots become more human friendly and suitable or home or personal environment. The more biomimetic robots resemble living creature, the more human feels familiarity. Human feels close friendship not only when feeding a pet, but also when watching a pet having the food. Most of entertainment robots and pet robots use internal-type batteries and have a self-recharging function. Entertainment robots and pet robots with internal-type batteries are not able to operate during charging the battery. So far there have been a few robots that do not depend on an internal battery. However, they need a bulky energy conversion unit and a slug or foods as an energy source, which is not suitable for home or personal application. In this paper, we introduce a new biomimetic entertainment robot with autonomous eating functionality, called EPRO-1(Eating Pet RObot version 1). The EPRO-1 is able to eat a food (a small battery), by itself and evacuate. We describe the design concept of the autonomous eating mechanism of the EPRO-1, characteristics of sub-parts of the manufactured mechanism and its control system.
