Abstract

It is a challenge task to enable a robot to dance according to different types of music. However, two problems have not been well resolved yet: (1) how to assign a dance to a certain type of music, and (2) how to ensure a dancing robot to keep in balance. To tackle these challenges, a robot automatic choreography system based on the deep learning technology is introduced in this paper. First, two deep learning neural network models are built to convert local and global features of music to corresponding features of dance, respectively. Then, an action graph is built based on the collected dance segments; the main function of the action graph is to generate a complete dance sequence based on the dance features generated by the two deep learning models. Finally, the generated dance sequence is performed by a humanoid robot. The experimental results shows that, according to the input music, the proposed model can successfully generate dance sequences that match the input music; also, the robot can maintain its balance while it is dancing. In addition, compared with the dance sequences in the training dataset, the dance sequences generated by the model has reached the level of artificial choreography in both diversity and innovation. Therefore, this method provides a promising solution for robotic choreography automation and design assistance
