ABSTRACT
Most 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 the human society. In this paper, we propose a model of emotion based on some neurological and psychological findings concerning empathic communication between humans and robots. Then, we examine a method for generating affect for given visual stimuli using a recurrent neural network as a first step.

HRI '18: Companion of the 2018 ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot InteractionHaving emotions is essential for robots to understand and sympathize with the feelings of people. In addition, it may allow the robots to be accepted into human society. The role of emotions in decision-making is another important perspective. In this ...
The Role of Empathic Traits in Emotion Recognition and Emotion Contagion of Cozmo Robots
HRI '22: Proceedings of the 2022 ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot InteractionIn this online study, we investigated how well people could recognize emotions displayed by video recordings of a Cozmo robot, and the extent to which emotion recognition is shaped by individuals' empathic traits. We also explored whether participants ...
