چکیده
Emotions involve complex processes produced by i n te rac t i ons between motives/ b e l i e f s / percepts , e t c . E.g. real or imagined f u l f i l m e n t or v i o l a t i o n of a mot ive/ or t r i g g e r i n g of a 'mot ive-genera tor ' / can d i s tu rb processes produced by other mot ives. To understand emotions/ t he re fo re / we need to understand motives and the types of processes they can produce. This leads to a study of the g lobal a r c h i tec tu re of a mind. Some const ra in ts on the evo lu t i o n of minds are d isussed. Types of motives and the processes they generate are sketched.

Why Emotion-Capable Robots
Recent advances in emotion modeling and continuous progress in robot design pose an intriguing question: can emotion-capable robots be constructed? This paper aims to compose an emotion model as a first step in this endeavor. Concrete concepts from existing advanced emotion models have been built upon to develop a new comprehensive computational model of emotions. This model bridges the gap bet...
متن کاملFrom Human Emotions to Robot Emotions
The main difficulties that researchers face in understanding emotions are difficulties only because of the narrowmindedness of our views on emotions. We are not able to free ourselves from the notion that emotions are necessarily human emotions. I will argue that if animals have emotions, then so can robots. Studies in neuroscience have shown that animal models, though having limitations, have ...
متن کاملArchitectural Requirements for Autonomous Human-like Agents
TALKING ABOUT MENTAL STATES McCarthy gives reasons why we shall need to describe intelligent robots in mentalistic terms, and why such a robot will need some degree of self consciousness, and he has made suggestions regarding the notation that we and the robot might use to describe its states. This talk extends that work by focusing on the underlying “high level” architectures required to justi...
متن کاملWhy Robots?
In this paper we offer arguments for why modeling in the field of artificial language evolution can benefit from the use of real robots. We will propose that robotic experimental setups lead to more realistic and robust models, that real-word perception can provide the basis for richer semantics and that embodiment itself can be a driving force in language evolution. We will discuss these propo...
متن کاملWhy Do People Seek Negative Emotions? A Solution to Hume's Puzzle
In his 1757 essay “Of Tragedy”, Hume reflected on a curious puzzle about emotions. Sometimes people seek out emotions or experiences that are typically negative and associated with displeasure or pain. People often desire to watch horror films that will make them scared or listen to music that will make them sad. Some people even engage in the pursuit of negative emotions on a regular basis suc...
متن کاملEvolutionary Simulations based on a Robotic Approach to Emotion
Abstract This paper reports on the current state of our efforts to synthesize emotion in robots from a selectionist perspective in order to explore the origin and the adaptations of emotion and to realize efficient robotic systems. We have defined a minimal model of emotion in robots based on a behavioristic theory on human emotions, and have shown by conducting a robotic experiment that human ...
