Entertainment is one of the successful fields in robot industry, and especially, the typical entertainment robot is the small humanoid robot. To provide new elements of entertainment for the people, we focused on figure skating motion. In this study, a software which choreographs any motion to any robot and generates robot's motions was developed. The software was developed as a plug-in for “V-REP” (Virtual Robot Experimentation Platform). The user can easily make key-poses on the software, and then, interpolation motions between key-poses are automatically generated. Its usability was confirmed by a user test.
