What we should do with service robots to attract people’s attention and communicate more smoothly? We are proceeding with the robot OSONO project, which is referring to Japanese Joruri puppets, with the theme of utilizing expressions that incorporate the "Performing arts and technology" that has been passed down through the ages. In this paper, we propose the associative model that clarifies the correspondence between Ningyo Joruri’s acting script of the performance, and the choreography, and its meaning. And using this method, we discover a number of choreographies that can be used for service robots from the performance record video. Then we will prototype robot OSONO2 and implement this choreography on it so that we confirm that it is possible to express typical poses and typical choreography comfortably by mainly static evaluation. As a result, a series of flows for extracting the choreography for service robots from the acting script / acting video will be established.
