In face-to-face communication, we use not only verbal medium but also non-verbal medium for communication. In particular facial expressions are very important for emotional communication because they show emotions and feelings effectively. Therefore it is thought that facial expressions are necessary for human-robot smooth communication. In this paper, "Face Robot" that has human-like appearance and can display facial expressions similar to human being is developed. In order to improve the humanity, the skin of the face robot is taken from the cast of female's face (i.e. life-mask). We then add and improve control points of the face robot according to features of her face. Moreover we analyze her facial expressions in order to mimic her real-time facial expressions with the face robot. We then confirm that mimicking of her real-time facial expressions and face features with the face robot are reproduced successfully.
