The non-humanoid robots can express emotion by imitating the humans body language with different paths. The movement parameters effecting the Laban Effort Factors can be got by parameterizing the trajectory with using Laban Movement Analysis (LMA) Theory. Then, the emotion expressing model based on the trajectory of aerial robot is established by mapping the Effort Factors to the PAD emotion space. The simulation demonstrates the validity of the model.

A dance notation system is usually regarded as a representation tool rather than a creative tool. This paper uses the indeterminacy approach as a creativity method to assist body-based limb exercise and development. The movement notation system is constructed based on the effort action from Laban Movement Analysis. In-depth interviews provide a comprehensive insight into the choreographer’s perspective. The findings show that the notation system and body-based improvisation training are not mutually exclusive. Therefore, the use of a notation system gives dancers a better understanding of how movements interact with various stimuli, in relation to internal and external environments.

The paper presents a real-time tool for the segmentation and analysis of body gestures, part of a larger se- tup for exploring music and dance in the contexts of electroacoustic composition, live-electronics and other interac- tive performances. The idea of gesture is the foundation of the proposed interactive strategies, and is discussed from different points of view. The current implementation uses the Max/Msp programming language and Kinect sensors. The segmentation of dance gestures is based on the inspection of the zero-crossings of the acceleration curve of ea- ch body joint. Concepts from Laban Movement Analysis are used to qualify the extracted gestures. Dance improvi- sations on Petrushka excerpts are the basis of a case study, where the relations between the music (tempo, pulses,instrumentation, character) and Laban Basic Actions are stressed.
