Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) We have developed a system for humanoid robots to imitate whole body motions performed by a human. Our target motions are traditional folk dances. Human motions can be acquired by a motion capturing system. However, those motion data cannot be imported directly into a robot which have body properties different from that of humans. In order to realize the motion which satisfies the essence of the original dance motion under the robot constraints, we propose a motion recognition and generation method using symbolic motion descriptions. This method have realized an actual performance of "Tsugaru Jongara-Bushi", which is one of the Japanese traditional folk dances, on the humanoid robot "HRP-1S".
