Okuno %T Robot Gesture Generation from Environmental Sounds Using Inter-modality Mapping %X We propose a motion generation model in which robots presume the sound source of an environmental sound and imitate its motion. Sharing environmental sounds between humans and robots enables them to share environmental information. It is difficult to transmit environmental sounds in human-robot communications. We approached this problem by focusing on the iconic gestures. Concretely, robots presume the motion of the sound source object and map it to the robot motion. This method enabled robots to imitate the motion of the sound source using their bodies. %K iconic gesture generation, inter-modal learning, auditory distance, Keepon robot %P 139-140 %E Luc Berthouze %E Fr?d?ric Kaplan %E Hideki Kozima %E Hiroyuki Yano %E J?rgen Konczak %E Giorgio Metta %E Jacqueline Nadel %E Giulio Sandini %E Georgi Stojanov %E Christian Balkenius %V 123 %D 2005 %I Lund University Cognitive Studies %L cogprints4990
