Introduction
What is the first thing that
comes to mind when you
think of robot.
What is robot….!
A machine that imitates a
human, capable of
carrying out a complex
series of actions
automatically and works
on artificial intelligence…

Entertainment Robot
An entertainment robot is a robot that is
not made for utilitarian use, but for the
pleasure

2 Types of Entertainment Robot
 Real Time
Robot performing in real time in a live
event.
 Non-Real Time
A Non-Real time robot performing
task after capturing something.

Advantages
Real Time Non-Real Time
 A performer can
observe and feel a
spectator's reaction.
 A spectator can enjoy
the feeling of
presence.
 Prior editing of the
performance is
possible so that a
perfect performance
can be shown.
 It can be repeated
any number of times,
at any time.

Disadvantages
Real Time Non-Real Time
 When a performer
makes a mistake, it is
difficult to redo the
action.
 It is difficult for
spectators to have
the feeling of
presence.

Different fields of Entertainment
Robots
 Movie Industry
 Band Performance
 Dance Performance
 Video Games
 Live Performance
 Robotic Competitions

Robots in Movie industries
Current Hollywood blockbuster movie
GRAVITY…George Clooney and Sandra
Bullock acts as surviving astronauts from a
damaged space shuttle.

Robots in movie industry
 Robot cameras use in
Hollywood
movie….GRAVITY
 Bot & Dolly, boutique
design studio which
redevelop robotic
arms, perform tasks
such as automotive
welding and painting.

Robots in Movie industries
Software & Hardware
Autodesk’s Maya animation software was
used to control the robots, and a
custom computer interface translated
the pre-visualized CG animation shots
into physical camera moves on the set
that captured the actor’s faces in the
proper alignment.

Musical or Band Robots
 Up-coming musicians are without soul,
blood or heart Because robot use as a
musicians instrument.
 Expressive Machines Musical Instruments
(EMMI) is an organization that’s make
acoustic instruments used in band
performances.

Functioning
3 main instruments in EMMI.
MADI
Multi-mallet Automatic Drumming
Instrument
CADI
Configurable Automatic Drumming
Instrument
PAM
Poly-tangent Automatic multi-
Monochord

Musical Robot
Challenges
Any one removes the acoustic drum
actuated by a solenoid so that no sound
would be produced and the robotic
percussionist will continue “blissfully”
playing along.

Humanoid Robots
 The Humanoid Robotics Project (HRP) is
sponsored by Japan's Ministry of Economy
Trade and Industry (METI) and New
Energy and Industrial Technology
Development Organization (NEDO).
 The HRP series also goes by the name
Promet, these robot use in dancing
purposes

Robots in live dance
Software & Hardware
 AIST (Advance industrial science and
technology) is the developer of the motion
control system which achieved the real-
time software development.
 AIST via communication networks, as well
as Open RTM-AIST, the RT middleware
implementation, as the middleware

Actroid
 Actroid is a type of android (humanoid
robot) with strong visual human-likeness
developed by Osaka University.
 Unveiled in 2003 International Robot
Exhibition in Tokyo, Japan.

Actroid
 The Actroid woman is a pioneer example
of a real machine similar to imagined
machines called by the science fiction
terms android or gynoid, so far used only
for fictional robots.
 The "Repliee" models are interactive
robots with the ability to recognize and
process speech and respond in kind.

ASIMO…
Advanced Step
in Innovative Mobility
is the best
entertainer
is a humanoid
robot designed and
developed by Honda .
Introduced on 21
October 2000,
ASIMO was designed
to be a multi-
functional mobile
assistant.

AIBOs Software
 All AIBOs are bundles with AIBOLIFE
software giving the robot a personality
 Aperios is an real time operating system use
in all AIBOs..
 OPEN-R SDK is a C++ based programming
SDK, based on open-source tools, to make
software that executes on AIBO

NAO Robot
NAO is a 58-cm tall
humanoid robot. He
is small, cute and
round. You can't help
but love him! NAO is
intended to be a
friendly companion
around the
house. He moves,
recognizes you,
hears you and even
talks to you!

Pepper Robot
The latest creation
from Aldebaran, Pepper
is the first humanoid
robot designed to live
with humans. At the
risk of disappointing
you, he doesn't clean,
doesn't cook and
doesn't have super
powers... Pepper is a
social robot able to
converse with you,
recognize and react to
your emotions, move
and live autonomously

Romeo
Romeo is a research
robot created from the
collaboration of
laboratories and
companies like
Aldebaran. This 140-cm
humanoid robot is
intended to deepen
research on assistance
for the elderly and
those who have lost
autonomy. Its height
allows it to open doors,
climb stairs, and even
grab objects on a table.
