Most of these early games have not escaped the level that gamers alone can do with computers.

But recently, gamers have been able to enjoy network games such as "Battle.net" and "StarCraft" based on personal computers and Internet networks.

However, since such a network game was also a graphics-based game, a graphic-processed character could provide excitement and excitement, but it was limited in expressing realistic liveliness and presence.

On the other hand, recent interface innovations such as game consoles (game consoles) and PCs are being implemented.

For example, a game machine senses a user's movement using a hand-held device and uses it to provide game experiences such as table tennis or boxing.

These game console innovations evolve from a traditional joystick to a natural interaction.

Therefore, in the future, it is expected that the interface of game consoles will become a type of Personal Humanoid Robot that understands the human motion and voice and understands the intention.

Therefore, it is necessary to study how the robot recognizes and controls the user's actions and voices.
