A Study of Emotional Motion Description by Motion Modification and Adjectival Expressions

Emotion expression through motion is meaningful communication process between humans and robots. Automatic emotion expression generation is desired to robots which communicate with humans. Proposed technique generate the emotional motion by modifying the base motion pattern with the combination of adjectival expressions. In order to generate emotional motion, emotion modification rule must be prepared, which represents intensity and corresponding the relationship between emotion expression and the adjectival expressions. In this paper, emotion modification rule is obtained by organoleptic tests and generates the suitable emotional motion pattern from base motion pattern
