Modeling Emotions in Robotic Socially Believable Behaving Systems

چکیده
This book aims to investigate the features that are at the core of human interactions tomodel the involved emotional processes, in order to design anddevelop autonomous systems and algorithms able to detect early signs of changes, in moods and emotional states. The attention is focused on emotional social features and the human’s ability to decode and encode emotional social cues while interacting. In order to do this, the bookwill propose a series of investigations that gather behavioral data from speech, handwriting, facial, vocal and gestural expressions. This is done through the definition of behavioral tasks that may serve to produce changes in the perception of emotional social cues. Specific scenarios are designed to assess users’ emphatic and social competencies. The collected data are used to gain knowledge on how behavioral and interactional features are affected by individuals’ moods and emotional states. This information can be exploited to devise multidimensional models of multimodal interactional features that will serve for measuring the degree of empathic relationships developed between individuals and allow the design and development of cost-effective emotion-aware technologies to be used in applicative contexts such as remote health care services and robotic assistance.

Modeling Social Signals and Contexts in Robotic Socially Believable Behaving Systems
There is a need for a holistic perspective when considering aspects of natural interactions with robotic socially believable behaving systems, that must account of the cultural, social, physical, and individual (the context) features that shape interactional exchanges. Context (the physical, social and organizational context) rules individual’s social conducts and provide means to render the wo...

متن کاملEmotional Modeling with Synthetic Agents
The idea of artificially intelligent agents hearkens back to the first science fiction stories of androids, robotic people who could interact with humans and with each other. Today we have separated the tasks of building physical robots from designing their software, but the basic idea remains the same. A synthetic agent is an embodied character who acts independently and interactively in a bel...
متن کاملThe Role of Intention in Cognitive Robotics
We argue that the development of robots that can interact effectively with people requires a special focus on building systems that can perceive and comprehend intentions in other agents. Such a capability is a prerequisite for all pro-social behaviour and in particular underpins the ability to engage in instrumental helping and mutual collaboration. We explore the prospective and intentional n...
