Abstract
A method and apparatus for robot gesture generation is described. Generally speaking, a concept corresponding to a utterance to be spoken by a robot is determined (). After a concept is determined or selected, a symbolic representation of a gesture that corresponds to the determined concept is retrieved from a predetermined gesture library (). Subsequently, the symbolic representation is provided to cause the robot to perform the gesture (). In such way, a more natural, comprehensive and effective communication between human and robots may be achieved.
