ABSTRACT
Emotions are a fundamental part of everyday life and an important topic in the development of artificial intelligence. We combine a Simultaneous Localization and Mapping algorithm with a model of emotion. The model of emotion is able to generate a mapping from the quantitative figures of the SLAM process to human-like emotions. This enables the robot to communicate its current state towards a human observer using emotional expressions. The paper reports on the design of the model, the result of the affective evaluation during an autonomous path finding process and its comparison to experimental data of a survey.

How emotion is made and measured
How we design and evaluate for emotions depends crucially on what we take emotions to be. In affective computing, affect is often taken to be another kind of information-discrete units or states internal to an individual that can be transmitted in a ...
A Model of Emotion for Empathic Communication
HRI '17: Proceedings of the Companion of the 2017 ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot InteractionMost people believe that robots have no emotions, and nor do they need them. However, we strongly believe that having emotions is essential for robots to understand and sympathize with the feelings of people, thereby allowing them to be accepted into ...
