Abstract
This paper presents an analysis of humanoid robot ability to perform human upper body language regarding several typical human emotional states. A young actor has been involved as a model of affective states. Experiments on real robot have been carried out in order to find its dynamics. A criterion that allows us to detect robot possibility of performing emotions by movements is defined. Analysis of how to compensate robot shortcomings such as limited degrees of freedom and joint’s activation in performing emotions is given.
