Research on Affective Model of Affective Robot

Abstract

In this paper, an affective model is built, in which the transition of emotion can be viewed as a Markov process. In this model the relation of emotion, external incentive and personality is also described, and the Dempster-Shafer evidence theory is used to combine the emotion information from vision, speech and the others. Finally this paper integrates the affective model into the affective robot system. The application of this affective model on the emotion robot made the affective robot have personification emotion and personality. The results show this affective model can better simulate dynamic process of emotion transferring and changing spontaneously.
