“…What are needed are more creative and dynamic movements for dancing robots that can learn and adapt to human preferences so as to keep their interest. There has been little progress in this direction although there are some that are working close in this direction [1] [20]. This research introduces a step in this direction.…”

Throughout human civilization, dance has been considered to be a means of communication. With advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Robot Technology (RT), it is now possible to create biped humanoid robots that can dance. This manuscript provides an overview of dancing robots that have been developed during the past 24 years. It then introduces several emotional flexible spine humanoid robots developed by the author. As part of the introduction, it presents the world's first humanoid robot that can exhibit dynamic walk with flexible spine motions. This is followed by a discussion on applications, some development issues and possible future directions of research related to dancing robots.

“…Globally, it is possible to find in the literature autonomous dancing robots that range from omnidirectional egg-shaped mp3 players 11 , to quadrocopters 12 , creature-like toys 13 , Lego robots 14 , and low-cost humanoids 15 , 16 ; all applied to edutainment and/or child-care purposes.…”

“…These include the real-time generation of motor-commands triggered by a FitzHugh-Nagumo neural network fed with musical beats on-the-fly 11 ; the generation of periodic side-to-side motions triggered in phase to the musical beats, previously detected off-line 12 ; simple periodic motor primitives controlled by the tempi of a metronome fed with live musical or visual stimuli 13 ; simple motion combinations reacting to multi-modal events, given by floor colors and multiple note-onsets' intensities 14 ; and the online generation of simple humanoid dancing sequences by interpolating random 15 or user-controllable 16 keypose combinations in phase to the musical beat.…”

We propose an online sensorimotor architecture for controlling a low-cost humanoid robot to perform dance movements synchronized with musical stimuli. The proposed architecture attempts to overcome the robot's motor constraints by adjusting the velocity of its actuators and inter-changing the attended beat metrical-level on-the-fly. Moreover, we propose quantitative metrics for measuring the level of beatsynchrony of the generated robot dancing motion and complement them with a qualitative survey about several aspects of the demonstrated robot dance performances. Tests with different dance movements and musical pieces demonstrated satisfactory beat-synchrony results despite the physical limitations of the robot. The comparison against robot dance sequences generated without inter-changing the attended metrical-level validated our sensorimotor approach for controlling beat-synchronous robot dancing motions using different dance movements and facing distinct musical tempo conditions.
