An Approach to Building Emotional Intelligence in Artifacts

摘要

Artificial emotional intelligence is vital for integration of future robots into the human society. This work introduces one possible approach to representation and processing of emotional mental states and attitudes (appraisals) in a cognitive architecture. The developed framework will allow for implementation of emotional intelligence in artifacts, including emotionally informed behavior and selfregulation, recognition of emotional motives in actions of other agents, and natural emergence of social emotional attitudes, interpreted here as higher-order appraisals. The proposed validation is based on a simulation of emergence of emotional relationships in a small group of agents.
