| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
As the emotional gait is a critical information, emotion information influences definitely the ideas humans might have about the robot such as the robot's occupation or robot's acceptance in the society. This is a study of the emotional gait and its effects on the body and the mind of humans. It stats from its understanding of the change that the emotions have on the human body and on the gait, to its application of the knowledge on the body of a humanoid robot in order to influence the robot's human partner. using emotional gaits in humanoid robots have several benefits from a better and more precise communication between humans and robots but also that an emotional gait would influence human behavior with of without a direct interaction with the robot.
