Humans routinely communicate through abstractions of their bodies, including shadows, silhouettes, and reflections. Here, we present a robotic system capable of dynamic shadow expression using a 21-degree-of-freedom dexterous hand<\/a> with compliant soft skin and a learned shadow self-model.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
