Abstract—Service robots appear more and more in our life, suitable human-robot interaction concepts are required based on the communication skills and information of database system. In this paper, the interaction of the robot head and the users is described within the contexts in working environment, where the robot and the interactor are deployed. Developing interactive systems for robots, especially service robots, is extremely necessary. This study introduces an interactive system for a robot head. The purpose of the robot head’s interactive system is to make the users feel that it is a human head, not a machine or a robot. Its interactive system has many levels and modes. The robot’s emotions are also generated by the head with facial movements. Emotions and facial expressions are based on emotional states and human-robot interaction information. The objective of this paper is to create a robot head model capable of interacting with humans naturally thanks to AI combined with facial, eye, and lip gestures, with the aim of improving the efficiency of the human and robot interaction process to assist the elderly person. In the experimental results, we have surveyed the level of satisfaction of the operator with the robot is 78%, while the error level of the robot in this process is only 10%.
