This manuscript describes an approach, based on Laban Movement Analysis, to generate compact and informative representations of movement to facilitate affective movement recognition and generation for robots and other artificial embodiments. We hypothesize that Laban Movement Analysis, which is a comprehensive and systematic approach for describing movement, is an excellent candidate for derivi...

A set of physical feature values, called Laban feature set, is proposed in order to explain observers impression of bodily expression. The design concept of the Laban feature value set is based on Laban Movement Analysis, which is a famous theory in body movement psychology. In this paper, for practial application to Human-Agent Interaction(HAI), we consider adopt Human Form Robot (HFR) as a mo...

This chapter discusses the possibility of using Laban notation to program humanoid robots. Laban notation documents human movements by a sequence of symbols that express movements as defined in the physical space. We show, by reasoning around the simple action of “taking a ball”, the flexibility of the notation that is able to describe an action with different level of details, depending on the...

This work studies the performance of different signal features regarding the qualitative meaning of Laban Movement Analysis semantics. Motion modeling is becoming a prominent scientific area, with research towards multiple applications. The theoretical representation of movements is a valuable tool when developing such models. One representation growing particular relevance in the community is ...

Background/State of the art. Cancer-testis antigen (CTA) expression is restricted to germline cells. However, in cancer these embryologic antigens are often reexpressed by promoter demethylation. CTA are immunogenic and attractive targets for specific immunotherapy. MAGE-antigens, PRAME and NY-ESO-1 are the most frequently expressed CTAs in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) and asso...

Although movement has long been recognized as expressing emotion and as an agent of change for emotional state, there was a dearth of scientific evidence specifying which aspects of movement influence specific emotions. The recent identification of clusters of Laban movement components which elicit and enhance the basic emotions of anger, fear, sadness and happiness indicates which types of mov...

Camel milk (CM) is gaining scientific attention due to its potential health and therapeutic benefits. Fermented drinkable yogurts (labans) were prepared from CM bovine (BM) using mixed Streptococcus thermophilus Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus bacteria supplemented with 1 of 2 hydrocolloids: pectin (0.1–0.3%) or sodium alginate (0.1–0.5%). The different labans compared by studying the...
