Abstract

The authors developed the auditory, tactile and olfactory sensation for a human-like head robot WE-3 RV (Waseda Eye No. 3 Refined V). We used 2-layerd FSRs (Force Sensing Resistors) for tactile sensation, and WE-3 RV can recognize the difference in touching behaviors such as push, hit and stroke. For olfactory sensation, we used four semiconductor gas sensors. WE-3 RV could quickly recognize the smells of alcohol, ammonia and cigarette smoke.
