Emotion in Intelligent Virtual Agents: The Flow Model of Emotion
نویسندگان
چکیده
Different models have been proposed to support emotion in artificial agents. However, a general framework to support the implementation of emotional agents of different kinds and levels of complexity is still not well defined. In this paper we present a model that is independent of specific physiological or psychological details, despite being inspired by biological processes, defining an emotional structure that can be objectively implemented and evaluated, and which can be used to integrate and extend other agent models, like deliberative models. Concrete results are presented to illustrate the model adequacy for agent emotional characterization.

Unifying Emotion and Cognition: The Flow Model Approach
Growing experimental evidence shows the fundamental role that emotion plays in intelligent behavior as well as the close relationship between emotion and what is classically known as cognition. Due to this evidence different models have been proposed to support emotion in artificial agents. However, the classical separation between emotion and cognition still prevails, not favoring the definiti...
متن کاملInteractive Agents with Artificial Mind
This paper discusses an artificial mind model and its applications. The mind model is based on some theories which assert that emotion is an important function in human decision making. An artificial mind model with emotion is built, and the model is applied to action selection of autonomous agents. In three examples, the agents interact with humans and their environments. The examples show the...
متن کاملTowards background emotion modeling for embodied virtual agents
For the realistic simulation of embodied agents we need a model of emotion that represents both structural and dynamic aspects of emotional phenomena to serve as background support for multifaceted emotion characterization. In this paper we present an emotion model oriented towards that aim, which provides a continuous modeling of the evolution of emotional phenomena. We also illustrate how it ...

متن کاملThe Effect of Virtual Agents' Emotion Displays and Appraisals on People's Decision Making in Negotiation
There is growing evidence that emotion displays can impact people’s decision making in negotiation. However, despite increasing interest in AI and HCI on negotiation as a means to resolve differences between humans and agents, emotion has been largely ignored. We explore how emotion displays in virtual agents impact people’s decision making in human-agent negotiation. This paper presents an exp...
