Dynamic Analysis of Eyeball Mechanism on Android Robots

Abstract:

Pneumatic power source has become increasingly delicate and effective in the application of tiny mechanical devices in the past few years. Advanced eyeball expression contributes much more impressions than any other facial organ on the robot skull. This paper is dedicated to self-handcraft an incentive, inexpensive, and animated eyeball mechanism on the spherical space instead of Cartesian space. The proposed biomimic eyeball module will be developed by the series-connected, pneumatically driven AI-servo actuators on the viewpoint of topology. In this paper, emotional simulations and the experiments with the data acquisition are also examined and successfully justified the advantages of the proposed innovation.
