Modeling Pudding to Express Cuteness

Abstract

This paper aims to evaluate the perceived cuteness of the oscillatory motion of pudding and proposes a modeling approach for this phenomenon. The target motion specifically concerns viscoelastic objects and is characterized as vibratory behavior. For modeling, we employ the Voigt model to represent viscoelasticity. The system consists of mass points connected by viscoelastic elements, with an external oscillatory force applied. The proposed model describes the motion in two dimensions and captures the characteristic oscillatory behavior with a minimal number of elements. In future work, we will implement the model in simulations and validate it through experiments, aiming to provide a concise representation of cuteness.
