ABSTRACT
One of the UNESCO intangible cultural heritages Bunraku puppets can play one of the most beautiful puppet motions in the world. The sophisticated motions of the Bunraku puppet can express emotions interactively with a fixed facial expression overcoming the so-called "Uncanny Valley", simultaneously. In the present paper, we study the Bunraku motions using the famous concept so-called "Jo(Introduction)-Ha(Breaking)-Kyū(Rapid)". These emotional motions are synchronized with the Jo-ha-kyū. As a result, an android robot can express different affective motion synchronized to the different type of emotional chant or narration with a story that we call Jōruri.

Workshop on Enabling Rich, Expressive Robot Animation
HRI'15 Extended Abstracts: Proceedings of the Tenth Annual ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot Interaction Extended AbstractsHRI researchers and practitioners often need to generate complex, rich, expressive movement from machines to facilitate effective interaction. Techniques often include live puppeteering via Wizard-of-Oz setups, sympathetic interfaces, or custom control ...
Virtual ball player
It is very difficult and tedious work to synthesize an animation in which a character skillfully controls several balls. This is because all the virtual balls need to be synchronized with the motion of the character temporally and spatially as following ...
Design and evaluation of creative and emotional motion
C&C '11: Proceedings of the 8th ACM conference on Creativity and cognitionIn this study, we propose a method for the design of a creative and emotional motion. Our work is based on the hypothesis that a creative motion that is beyond the ordinary human imagination can produce emotional impressions that resonate with deep ...
