Agents which generate and estimate emotions based on logical model

Abstract

Recently, research studies on robots that have emotions and can have dialogues with humans are progressing.By making it possible to guess the emotions of others, it is possible to generate more kind of human emotions corresponding to the guessed emotions. In addition, it is desirable that the generation of one’s own emotions and the estimation of others’ emotions can be performed under the same condition, but such research is not seen in the past. Therefore, in addition to our previous implementation based on the combination of OCC theory and BDI model, we have made it possible to estimate others’ emotions using the same definitions as those we have used so far. Furthermore, whereas we had to give inputs from the environments to our system in the form of logical formulas, we aim to implement robots that generate emotions based on the beliefs extracted from the sentences such as conversation.
