About
Masaya Nagai’s research lies at the intersection of affective computing, human-robot interaction, and artificial psychology, with a focus on designing emotionally intelligent service robots. His most cited works, including “The Research Of Interactive System Of Emotional Robot Based On Multi-agent” and “Emotion and Speech Interaction of Service Robot Based on Artificial Psychology” (both 2006, 2 citations each), introduced foundational frameworks for modeling robot emotions and perception. Nagai proposed a multi-agent architecture that integrates affective models, learning mechanisms, and perception agents to enable more natural, harmonious interaction between humans and machines. Drawing on Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, he developed an emotional interaction system that allows robots to simulate basic drives and respond to users with appropriate emotional and speech behaviors. While his citation counts remain modest, his early work contributed to the conceptual groundwork for emotionally responsive robotics, particularly in service contexts. Nagai’s research is notable for bridging psychological theory with computational design, offering a human-centered vision for robots that can perceive, express, and adapt emotionally—an increasingly relevant area as social robotics continues to evolve.
