Abstract
In this paper we propose a method to develop the program of continuous dancing motions using discrete motions sequentially for a computer-controlled automaton. Firstly a human listens to music and he imagines dancing motions. Secondly he generates a series of discrete skeleton images on a CRT display using a mouse. The skeleton image is the model of an automaton which has been developed in advance. Thirdly the continuous trajectories are generated by interpolating the sequential dancing images. Finally the continuous dancing motions of the skeleton images are evaluated on a CRT screen with the music. If necessary, the modification is repeated until a satisfactory motion is realized. The final check of the computer program is done by using the real automaton.
