	abstract = {Expressive behavior is critical for robots to convey emotional states effectively during interactions with humans. We present a framework that autonomously gen-
erates realistic and diverse robotic emotional expressions based on expert demonstrations captured in Mixed Reality (MR).In our demo, we will showcase:
1) Tele-operation: Human experts (or audience mem-bers) tele-operate a virtual robot from a first-person perspective, with their facial expressions, head movements, and upper-body gestures mapped onto robotic components (eyes, ears, neck, arms).
2) Autonomous generation: The trained flow-matching model generates emotional expressions in real time, conditioned on selected mood states. The robot dynamically adapts its behavior to different emotions while responding coherently to external stimuli.},
