An overview of our work on evaluating an affective embodied agent within a nutritional scenario (over extended periods of interaction) is provided. Results from an investigation into how subjects respond to the agent’s emotional expressions are also detailed, with a particular focus on how subjects respond to mismatched emotional expressions (e.g. a happy face with a concerned voice).

One possible approach consists in using ECA as virtual coaches or personal assistants and to make persuasion part of a dialogue game implementing specific argumentation or negotiation features. In this paper, we explore a...
