Story-Based Context and Control for Robotic and Human Interactive Motion

This extended abstract outlines the research plans and previous work of a first year PhD student applying to the Creativity and Cognition Graduate Student Symposium. The applicant's research interest is in designing and implementing motion-based interactions with robots, where the study participant is primed for the interactions through various narratives. Past work is described as well as an outline for future progress. The applicant is particularly interested in generating expressive motion for robots originating with human movers, captured by sensors and video.
