Abstract

This paper describes new Laban's Feature Values for dog robot. A classical approach to feeling expression using Laban's Feature Values was just for human type robot. We applied the focus to the movement of the tail of dogs when they express pleasure. Then, new feature "Rolling Effort" is proposed. In experimental results using AIBO, the effectiveness of new Laban's Feature Values include "Rolling Effort" are shown.
