| Abstract;The purpose of this research is to clarify a human vocal mechanism from engineering viewpoints by simulating the vocal movement with a robot. Therefore, the authors developed an anthropomorphic talking robot WT-1R (Waseda Talker-No.1 Refined) that improved on WT-1 (Waseda Talker-No1) for the realization of natural vowels and consonant sounds. It simulates a human vocal movement, and has vocal organs (the 1-DOF lung and 2-DOF vocal cords) and articulators (the 6-DOF tongue, 4-DOF lips, 1-DOF teeth, a nasal cavity and 1-DOF soft palate). Total DOF of the robot is 15. WT-1R could utter Japanese vowels (/a/, /i/, /u/, /e/, /o/) and consonant sounds (/s/, /h/, /m/, /p/). (author abst.) |
