Co-creational dance performance with robots

-1^st report: Development of prototyping support system-

Abstract

New media art uses new technology as media. New media make artworks interactive and immersive. Now, there is extensive research in HRI, but there are few robot-mediated art performances comparing with new media art performances. And there is few research that focuses on robot as media. Therefore, our goal is to realize robot-mediated art performances and develop a method of the artworks. In this study, we focus on the whole process from robot prototyping with dancers to dance performances with robots. In this paper, we discuss the visualization tool with dancers called prototyping support system.
