Abstract
Intangible cultural assets such as folk dances and native languages have been disappearing day-by-day. It is important to develop new methods to preserve such assets. Toward this goal, this paper focuses on how to preserve folk dances as performances by humanoid robots. This new method provides not only preservation of such folk dances, but also understanding of dance structures. We demonstrate this preservation method on a humanoid by using Japanese and Taiwanese folk dances. We also explain how such demonstrations provide new insights to folk dance, which leads to interdisciplinary studies of Taiwanese folk dances.
