Abstract

Creating believable androids is not just a technological feat, but an artistic one. The Yume Project addresses the challenge of creating lifelike androids by developing complex character. The authors demonstrate the unique perspectives artists can bring to the humanoid robot design process through costume, character, and story development. The authors hope to show that it is a focus on believability rather than realism that is needed to advance the field of humanoid robotics.
