Implementation of Humanoid Robot Dancing Performance Scenario Generation Program

Methods for Motion Generation and Interaction with a Humanoid Robot: Case Studies of Dancing and Catching

We focus on creating realistic, adaptable movement for humanoid robots and virtual characters. Here we present motion synthesis of dance movements for a humanoid robot, and interactive behavior for catching. Our approach to motion generation includes collection of example human movements, handling of marker occlusion, extraction of motion parameters, and trajectory generation, all of which must...

Optimization-Based Walking Generation for Humanoid Robot

The generation of walking motions for humanoid robots is a challenging task. From the infinite number of possibilities to move the body of the robot with its redundant degrees of freedom (DOF) forward, the task is to determine those motions that are stable, feasible within the robots kinematic and dynamic limitations, and also resemble the way we expect an anthropomorphic system to walk. Severa...

Multicriteria Optimal Humanoid Robot Motion Generation

Running Pattern Generation for a Humanoid Robot

A method of running pattern generation for a humanoid robot using the dynamics of a simple inverted pendulum is proposed. Dynamic simulation using a model of an actual humanoid robot shows that the robot can run by applying a generated pattern with slight modifications. The simulation is used to evaluate the required performance of actuators for an actual running robot.

Humanized Robot Dancing: Humanoid Motion Retargeting Based in a Metrical Representation of Human Dance Styles

Expressiveness and naturalness in robotic motions and behaviors can be replicated with the usage of captured human movements. Considering dance as a complex and expressive type of motion, in this paper we propose a method for generating humanoid dance motions transferred from human motion capture (MoCap) data. Motion data of samba dance was synchronized to samba music, manually annotated by exp...
