Behavioural Adaptation of Real-time Emotional Robotic Agents
نویسندگان
چکیده
The interest of the application of emotional computational models to improve the design of intelligent robots has been growing in the roboticist community for the last years. Emotional models are used to modulate the robot cognitive system to improve its ongoing behaviour control. A key issue of the design is the selection and modulation of the cognitive behavioural load depending on the problem to be solved. To undertake the modulation, the agent is conscious of its mental capacities and it manages emotional appraisals that are dependent on the agent attitude, such as the expectation of success. This paper presents the modulation system of real-time emotional agents (RTEA) and shows how emotional appraisals, that have proven effectively in ethological systems, can influence the agent’s decision making.

Evaluation of a new set of Real-Time PCR for Brucella detection within human and animal samples
A quantitative TaqMn Real-Time PCR assay was developed and its diagnostic value on human serum and livestock samples were evaluated. Brucella species could be distributed through communities as a biological agent. Rapid detection of biological threat agents is critical for timely therapeutic administration. Quantitative real-time PCR provides a rapid, sensitive and specific tool for molecular i...
متن کاملVariable Structure Behavioural Controller for Multi-agent Systems
In previous papers authors have considered agents as inertia-less self driven particles and designed a flocking algorithm. Application of this algorithm to agents with considerable inertial characteristics needs a behavioural controller. The controller uses the local information and helps every agent to imitate the desired behaviour as a member of the flocking frame which covers the main is...
متن کاملEvolutionary online behaviour learning and adaptation in real robots
Online evolution of behavioural control on real robots is an open-ended approach to autonomous learning and adaptation: robots have the potential to automatically learn new tasks and to adapt to changes in environmental conditions, or to failures in sensors and/or actuators. However, studies have so far almost exclusively been carried out in simulation because evolution in real hardware has req...
متن کاملTime Experiencing by Robotic Agents
Biological organisms perceive and act in the world based on spatiotemporal experiences and interpretations. However, artificial agents consider mainly the spatial relationships that exist in the world, typically ignoring its temporal aspects. In an attempt to direct research interest towards the fundamental issue of time experiencing, the current work explores two temporally different versions ...
متن کاملAn Infant Development-inspired Approach to Robot Hand-eye Coordination
This paper presents a novel developmental learning approach for hand-eye coordination in an autonomous robotic system. Robotic hand-eye coordination plays an important role in dealing with realtime environments. Under the approach, infant developmental patterns are introduced to build our robot’s learning system. The method works by first constructing a brain-like computational structure to con...
