Androids with human-like appearance are widely used as communication robots. Android motion is preferred to be human-like. To generate body motions for an android, human motions are directly measured with a motion capture device and transformed into motions for an android. In this paper, we propose a method to generate upper body (neck, torso and arms) motions for an android using a Kinect v2, which is used to measure human motions without markers.
