Emergent Patterns in Dance Improvisation and Choreography

In a traditional choreography a choreographer determines the motions of a dancer or a group of dancers. Information theory shows that there is a limit to the complexity that can be created in any given amount of time. This is true even when building on previous work, since movements and their interactions have to be communicated to the dancers. When creating a group work, choreographers circumv...

Authoring System for Choreography Using Dance Motion Retrieval and Synthesis

Dance animations of a three-dimensional (3D) character rendered with computer graphics (CG) have been created by using motion capture systems or 3DCG animation editing tools. Since these methods require skills and a large amount of work from the creator, automated choreography synthesis system has been developed to make dance motions much easier. However, those systems are not designed to refle...

Dance Choreography Design of Humanoid Robots using Interactive Evolutionary Computation

This article deals with a usage of artificial intelligent techniques in humanoid robotics. The focus is on social robotics and how to improve the interaction between human and robot. We used the interactive evolution for robotic dance system. In this work the definition, principles and basic features of Interactive Evolutionary Computation are described. This technique optimizes systems based o...
