Toward emotion recognition embodied in social robots : implementation of laban movement analysis into NAO robot

This research note focuses on human recognition of emotions embodied in a moving humanoid NAO robot. Emotional movements emulated on NAO intended to induce joy or sadness were presented to participants whose facial expressions were recorded and analysed with a Noldus FaceReader. Our preliminary results indicate reliable emotion recognition using the Laban choreographic approach in modelling robot’s affective gestures.
