Human motion planning in violin playing using KANSEI

The goal of this paper is to clarify the effects of human KANSEI on motion by taking human motion planning in violin playing into account. "KANSEI" is a Japanese word which is similar in meaning to "sensibility". Violin bowing was selected as an example. Sensuous tests were performed in order to clarify the relationship between timbre terms (which are example of KANSEI) and bowing parameters. Using the results obtained, the methods that can plan human motion using KANSEI were analyzed.
