ABSTRACT:
The object of the invention is to make the movable parts of a robot reproduce the movement of the movable parts of an animated object, via the transmission of movement parameters to the robot in a primary signal PS. The primary signal PS comprises sets of parameters associated with the movable parts of the animated object, the sets of parameters being inserted in said primary signal according to a hierarchical graph structure reflecting the structure of the movable parts of said animated object. The movable parts of the robot reproduce the movement characterized by the movement parameters comprised in the sets of parameters which are associated with them. Use: An animation system for a robot.
