Emotion Influenced Robotic Path Planning

Abstract

We introduce an emotion influenced robotic path planning solution which offers the possibility of enabling emotions in the robot. The robot can change the speed of the path or learn where it should be and where it should not be. Most existing solutions for robotic path planning have no emotional influences. The most successful emotions were taken and included into the solution of this paper. The results were analyzed with regard to the time and speed it takes for a normal robotic path planning without emotions and with emotions of happiness, fear and novelty.
