Demonstration: first steps in emotional expression of the humanoid robot Nao

Published: 02 November 2009 Publication History

Abstract

We created a library of emotional expressions, and not an emotional system, for the humanoid robot Nao from Aldebaran Robotics. This set of expressions could be used by robot behavior designers to create advanced behaviors, or by an emotion simulator. It is an insight into a conjoint work between an invited anthropologist and robotics researchers which resulted in about a hundred animations. We do not provide a review of the literature.
