Emotion-based Agents

چکیده
Re ent neurophysiologi ndings have un overed some interesting aspe ts of human intelligen e: the mind's thought pro esses are driven by emotions. Even rational thinking does require emotion to fun tion properly. This thesis proposes a model for an agent whose fun tioning is based on emotion. This model is supported by the work of Antonio Damasio [18℄ on unveiling the role of emotion in human rationality. The proposed model is based on a double-representation paradigm: a omplex, un ltered, stru tured representation termed ognitive image, and a simple, basi , built-in one termed per eptual image. After the dis ussion of the model, three implementations are des ribed, as well as some experimental results. Finally, some onsequen es of the approa h are dis ussed, su h as the emergen e of relevan e and meaning, ending with the enumeration of possible future resear h dire tions, namely the integration of the model in a roboti environment.

A Generic Framework for the Analysis of Emotion Mechanisms in Autonomous Agents
Emotion mechanisms are often used to perform roles in artificial agents with the aim of improving task performance. A basis for making comparisons between these agents is proposed, in the form of a framework constructed from an analysis of architectural qualities (the agent architecture, the action selection mechanism, and the emotion mechanism along with the emotion model it was based on). Thi...
متن کاملInteractive Agents with Artificial Mind
This paper discusses an artificial mind model and its applications. The mind model is based on some theories which assert that emotion is an important function in human decision making. An artificial mind model with emotion is built, and the model is applied to action selection of autonomous agents. In three examples, the agents interact with humans and their environments. The examples show the...
متن کاملModeling Emotion-Influenced Social Behavior for Intelligent Virtual Agents
In the last decades, cognitive and neuroscience findings about emotion have motivated the design of emotional-based architectures to model individuals’ behavior. Currently, we are working with a cognitive, multilayered architecture for Agents, which provides them with emotion-influenced behavior and has been extended to model social interactions. This paper shows this architecture, focusing on ...
متن کاملThe Effect of Virtual Agents' Emotion Displays and Appraisals on People's Decision Making in Negotiation
There is growing evidence that emotion displays can impact people’s decision making in negotiation. However, despite increasing interest in AI and HCI on negotiation as a means to resolve differences between humans and agents, emotion has been largely ignored. We explore how emotion displays in virtual agents impact people’s decision making in human-agent negotiation. This paper presents an exp...
متن کاملEmotion-Based Attention Shift in Autonomous Agents
We present three mechanisms of attention shift for autonomous agents within the framework of the SALT model of memory [5]: activationbased attention shift, attention shift by event-driven emotion and attention shift by anticipation-driven emotion. The three mechanisms rely on automatically computed properties of memory (as opposed to deliberative processes). Activation-based attention shift is ...
متن کاملAn Emotion-based Adaptive Behavioural Model for Simulated Virtual Agents
—Simulations utilizing virtual humans, or computer controlled agents, are more predominant now than ever. Many of these simulations suffer from a lack of effective, stimulating, and natural emotion-based behaviours in the interaction among the non-personal-characters, as well as with the human users. This lack of appropriate behaviour with emotion is caused by the fact that the structures drivi...
