In this study, silicone vocal fold models with different geometries were manufactured using
the common silicone brand EcoFlex 00–30 with typical oil mixing ratios. However, the …

A mechanical model of the human vocal system is being developed based on a
mechatronics technology under a feedback control. While various ways of vocal sound …

A talking and singing robot which adaptively learns the vocalization skill by an auditory
feedback learning is being developed. In vocalization, the vibration of vocal cords generates …

A talking and singing robot which adaptively learns the vocalization skill by means of an
auditory feedback learning algorithm is being developed. The robot consists of motor …

Voice is used as primary media in the human communication. It is employed not only in
simple daily communication, but also for the logical discussions and the expression of …

The authors are developing a talking robot based on the physical model of human vocal
organs in order to reproduce human speech mechanically. Humans use speech in daily …

The authors are developing a talking robot which is a mechanical vocalization system
modeling the human articulatory system. The talking robot is constructed with mechanical …

This paper introduces a speech training system for auditory impaired people employing a
talking robot. The talking robot consists of mechanically-designed vocal organs such as a …

Here we present a robotic vocal apparatus incorporating a tongue body that is moved by
stepper motors under computer control. The vocal tract consists of a central mouth region …

The authors have developed a vocalization training system for the auditory impaired using a
talking robot. The training system mainly consists of a talking robot that has mechanical …
