Abstract

Recent developments in the area of service robotics show an increasing interest in personal robots. Those personal robots can help to handle daily work and to entertain people. Both tasks require a robot that is able to communicate with people in a natural way. For these tasks non-verbal motions like gestures, mimic, and body pose are more and more important. Several anthropomorphic robots like [1], [6], [8], and [7] have been build in recent years. Although several goals could be reached humanoid robots are not able to communicate with humans in a natural way.
