Experiment of Emotion Generation for Autonomous Mobile Robot Based on Basic Emotional Vectors Expressed with Fuzzy Rules

Abstract

The purpose of our research is to represent emotions which are difficult to express onto a robot as compared with the logical knowledge. The emotional simulator for an autonomous mobile robot which is able to express various emotions based on three basic emotional vectors : Joy, Anger and Sadness was developed in this research. These basic emotional vectors are described only with simplified fuzzy reasoning rules. In this paper, we also report the result of experiments performed with miniature robot for the purpose of confirming the efficiency of this simulator.
