Affective social robots

چکیده
For human–robot interaction to proceed in a smooth, naturalmanner, robotsmust adhere to human social norms. One such human convention is the use of expressive moods and emotions as an integral part of social interaction. Such expressions are used to conveymessages such as ‘‘I’m happy to see you’’ or ‘‘I want to be comforted,’’ and people’s long-term relationships depend heavily on shared emotional experiences. Thus, we have developed an affective model for social robots. This generative model attempts to create natural, human-like affect and includes distinctions between immediate emotional responses, the overall mood of the robot, and long-term attitudes toward each visitor to the robot, with a focus on developing long-term human–robot relationships. This paper presents the general affect model as well as particular details of our implementation of the model on one robot, the Roboceptionist. In addition, we present findings from two studies that demonstrate the model’s potential. © 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Affective Knowledge Representation (AKR) for Cooperative Affective Robots (CARS)
In this article, we describe an Affective Knowledge Representation (AKR) scheme to represent emotion schemata to be used in the design a variety of socially intelligent artificial agents. Our approach in this article and in the applications of our AKR scheme, focuses on the notion of ``social expertise'' of socially intelligent agents in terms of their 1) external behavior and 2) internal motiv...
متن کاملModel of Personalized Affective Responsiveness for Human-Centered Robotics
Modeling empathic behaviors in social robots seems to be relevant to improve the overall human-robot interaction for the user. This paper proposes a technology that accommodates the differences between the human users, equipping humanoid robots with “personality”–as a pattern of affective behavioural traits that distinguish human partners from one another.
متن کاملEmotion Modelling for Social Robots
This chapter describes current advances in emotion modelling for social robots. It begins by contextualising the role of emotions in social robots, considering the concept of the Affective Loop. It describes a number of elements for the synthesis and expression of emotions through robotic embodiments and provides an overview of the area of emotional adaptation and empathy in social robots.
متن کاملSocial Robot Modelling of Human Affective State
Social robots need to understand the affective state of the humans with whom they interact. Successful interactions require understanding mood and emotion in the short term, and personality and attitudes over longer periods. Social robots should also be able to infer the desires, wishes, and preferences of humans without being explicitly told. We investigate how effectively affective state can ...
متن کاملOn TAMEing robots
The recent decade has seen an upsurge of interest in affective computing; in particular, a number of computational models of emotion have been built and applied in a variety of artificially intelligent systems. In part, this interest was brought about by the growing importance of the idea of social interaction between humans and computers (be it interfaces, autonomous agents, or robots), and th...
متن کاملLearning From and About Others: Towards Using Imitation to Bootstrap the Social Understanding of Others by Robots
We want to build robots capable of rich social interactions with humans, including natural communication and cooperation. This work explores how imitation as a social learning and teaching process may be applied to building socially intelligent robots, and summarizes our progress toward building a robot capable of learning how to imitate facial expressions from simple imitative games played wit...
