Abstract

We extend and develop an existing virtual agent system to generate communicative gestures for different embodiments (i.e. virtual or physical agents). This paper presents our ongoing work on an implementation of this system for the NAO humanoid robot. From a specification of multi-modal behaviors encoded with the behavior markup language, BML, the system synchronizes and realizes the verbal and nonverbal behaviors on the robot.
