This book describes and assesses a user-customizable framework for robot dancing edutainment applications. The proposed architecture enables the definition of choreographic compositions, which result on a conjunction of reactive dancing motions in real-time response to multi-modal inputs. These inputs are shaped in the form of three rhythmic events, different dance floor colors, and the awareness of the surrounding obstacles. This architecture was applied to a Lego-NXT humanoid robot dancing on a real-world dance stage. We report on an empirical evaluation over the overall robot dance performance made to a group of students after a set of live demonstrations. This evaluation validated...
