Abstract
Entertainment robots throughout theme parks are well known. In this paper, we briefly discuss some background of automated robots and define some terms that help describe methodologies and concepts for autonomous shows within a flexible narrative. We assert by using some basic rules and concept that entertainers applied during a show, applies to autonomous interactive shows as well. We discuss our multimodal sensory setup and describe how we applied these basic rules and concepts to a show and. We assert that it is uniquely important in the study of autonomous for theme park and location base entertainment.
