Application of urge system to communication robot

Abstract

Toda assumes that the system of emotions is a survival software that dictates to people a proper coping behavior in each situation, and proposes the urge system based on the assumption. Our research has focused on autonomous systems with emotion, and has aimed to develop an autonomous system using an emotion model. Among autonomous systems, our research has focused, in particular, on a self sufficient system that can, for example, supply its own energy to itself. This paper introduces a self sufficient system using the urge system and applies the system to a robot Babyloid that satisfies its sufficiency by itself. This paper also explains the effects of the psychological interaction between the robot and the user.
