Engineering Emotionally Intelligent Agents

چکیده
Interacting with intelligence in an ever-changing environment calls for exceptional performances from artificial beings. One mechanism explored to produce intuitive-like behavior in artificial intelligence applications is emotion. This chapter examines the engineering of a mechanism that synthesizes and processes an artificial agent’s internal emotional states: the Affective Space. Through use of the affective space, an agent can predict the effect certain behaviors will have on its emotional state and, in turn, decide how to behave. Furthermore, an agent can use the emotions produced from its behavior to update its beliefs about particular entities and events. This chapter explores the psychological theory used to structure the affective space, the way in which the strength of emotional states can be diminished over time, how emotions influence an agent’s perception, and the way in which an agent can migrate from one emotional state to another.

Emotionally Intelligent Agents: The Outline of a Resource-Oriented Approach
We discuss why emotions are currently an important topic for the intelligent agent paradigm. We explain which aspects of emotion research are relevant and indicate how current architectures for intelligent agents may be extended with resource managing constructs, inspired by ideas from cognitive science, to produce motionally intelligent agents.
متن کاملDo We Need Emotionally Intelligent Artificial Agents? First Results of Human Perceptions of Emotional Intelligence in Humans Compared to Robots
Humans are very apt at reading emotional signals in other humans and even artificial agents, which raises the question of whether artificial agents need to be emotionally intelligent to ensure effective social interactions. For artificial agents without emotional intelligence might generate behavior that is misinterpreted, unexpected, and confusing to humans, violating human expectations and po...
متن کاملUsing progressive adaptability against the complexity of modeling emotionally influenced virtual agents
The traditional consideration that intelligent behaviors can only be produced from pure reasoning fails when trying to explain most of human behaviors, in which the emotional component has a decisive weight. However, the inclusion of this kind of emotional factors charges agent architectures with an extra complexity, making them less efficient or reusable. This paper presents a generic cognitiv...
متن کاملHierarchical Functional Concepts for Knowledge Transfer among Reinforcement Learning Agents
This article introduces the notions of functional space and concept as a way of knowledge representation and abstraction for Reinforcement Learning agents. These definitions are used as a tool of knowledge transfer among agents. The agents are assumed to be heterogeneous; they have different state spaces but share a same dynamic, reward and action space. In other words, the agents are assumed t...
متن کاملUser-based Vehicle Route Guidance in Urban Networks Based on Intelligent Multi Agents Systems and the ANT-Q Algorithm
Guiding vehicles to their destination under dynamic traffic conditions is an important topic in the field of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). Nowadays, many complex systems can be controlled by using multi agent systems. Adaptation with the current condition is an important feature of the agents. In this research, formulation of dynamic guidance for vehicles has been investigated based...
متن کاملDesign and implementation of agent interaction mechanisms for emotionally intelligent tutoring systems
Modern intelligent systems are built from intelligent agents, but usually agent interaction mechanisms are described at the general level omitting design and implementation details. The paper presents aspects of practical implementation of agent interaction mechanisms in JADE platform on the basis of the set of agents for modelling student’s emotions in intelligent tutoring systems. The concept...
