Modeling Neuroendocrine Autonomic Responses in Embodied Autonomous Robots

The nervous system is controlled by a collection of neurons that transmit electric signals through the organism. These respond to internal and external stimuli regulate many involuntary physiological functions. autonomic regulates behaviors, such as heart rate, breathing, or pupil size action neuroendocrine substances modulate biological processes. processes allow express state while interacting with others. This manuscript presents an artificial model for regulating expressing functions emulated in Mini social robot. employs robot's perception simulated clock generate responses using control size, breathing blinking locomotor activity. primary contribution this work provide modeling replicate evolution effects on regulation demonstrate how them robots their actuators improve responsiveness naturalness. experiments show can maintain proper during long periods, exhibiting circadian rhythms responding unexpected environmental changes.
