This article raises the issue of collaboration between the field of dance and that of robotics. Dance notation systems are developed in the choreographic field as a method to describe and record human movements. Translating movements into symbols is of particular concern for computer science and robotics, which are interested in generating anthropomorphic motions in robots or animated avatars. We examine different research projects on the use of Laban notation for this purpose, and present our own attempt at generating dance movements in a humanoid robot from a Laban score. We discuss the interests and difficulties related to the use of a dance notation system in a robotic context.

Skin is an important organ which provides multiple functions. Thus, if skin fails i.e. due to burns or diseases, body will lose the protection provided by skin against infections and the harmful outer environment. Due to that, synthetic skin is seen as a very important alternative in the future. A number of studies have been carried out to understand skin’s basic functions and behaviour as its mechanical properties and behaviour are important in various fields. Nevertheless, to date no breakthrough has been reported. Therefore, this paper aims to briefly review and outline a framework which ultimately will lead to the synthesising silicone-hydrogel materials that potentially becoming a skin substitute. The newly synthesised composite materials will be tested mechanically to characterise its behaviour based on Ogden hyperelastic model. It could be emphasised that the present study is significant and will contribute to the body of knowledge in the area of skin mechanics.
