Patent ID: 7440819

Claim:
An animation system for a robot comprising: a) a transmitter comprising: means for creating a primary signal comprising sets of parameters for describing the movement of a set of movable parts of an animated object, a set of parameters comprising: aa) an identification parameter for associating a movable part with the set of parameters in question, bb) movement parameters for describing the movement of the movable part associated with the set of parameters, transmission means for transmitting said primary signal, b) a robot comprising: reception means for receiving said primary signal, movable parts able to be moved by control signals, processing means for successively processing the sets of parameters comprised in the primary signal received, said processing means comprising: aa) association means for, using the identification parameter, associating a movable part of the robot with the set of parameters, bb) generation means for, using the movement parameters, generating said control signals to the movable part associated with the set of parameters, for the purpose of making said associated movable part reproduce the movement characterized by said movement parameters.
