A Robotic Approach to Emotion from a Selectionist Perspective

چکیده
This paper reports on the current state of our efforts to synthesize emotion in robots from a selectionist perspective. As a first step, we describe a minimal model of emotion in robots in somewhat behavioristic view, which is based on Dietrich Doerner's theory on human emotions. From this perspective, we define five emotions of robots in terms of four modulators. Next, we conduct a robotic experiment in order to test that humans can identify a set of basic emotions in a mobile robot synthesized based on our definition This paper reports on the result of this evaluation test, and also discusses adaptive properties of each emotion by assuming illustrative examples in which a robot moves around an environment with various physical conditions.

Evolutionary 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 ...
متن کاملA theoretical overview of the concept of anxiety and its role on emotion regulation from the perspective of psychoanalysis from Freud's time to the present
Infants would be able to regulate emotion and manage anxiety merely through their intimate relationship with attachment figures they are emotionally in harmony with. This capability is essential for social, emotional, cognitive, and neurobiological development of children, and moreover, their ability to cope with anxiety predicts their success in future relationships. Thus, a theoretical overvi...
متن کاملAn LPV Approach to Sensor Fault Diagnosis of Robotic Arm
One of the major challenges in robotic arms is to diagnosis sensor fault. To address this challenge, this paper presents an LPV approach. Initially, the dynamics of a two-link manipulator is modelled with a polytopic linear parameter varying structure and then by using a descriptor system approach and a robust design of a suitable unknown input observer by means of pole placement method along w...
متن کاملNeuronal Group Selection Theory: A Grounding in Robotics
In this paper, we discuss a current attempt at applying the organizational principle Edelman calls Neuronal Group Selection to the control of a real, two-link robotic manipulator. We begin by motivating the need for an alternative to the position-control paradigm of classical robotics, and suggest that a possible avenue is to look at the primitive animal limb 'neurologically ballistic' control ...
متن کاملThe construction and acquisition of
The paper proposes a selectionist architecture for the construction and acquisition of visual categories by a robotic agent. The components of this architecture are described in some detail and results from experiments on physical robots are reported.
