Abstract

People would like to be socially engaged not only with humans but also with robots. One of the most common ways in the robotic field to enhance human robot interaction is to use emotion and integrate emotional concepts into robots. Many researchers have been focusing on developing a robot`s emotional expressions. However, it is first necessary to establish the psychological background of a robot`s emotion generation model in order to implement the whole process of a robot`s emotional behavior. Therefore, this article suggests a robot`s motivational emotion model with value effectiveness from a Higgins` motivation definition, regulatory focus theory, and Circumplex model. For the test, a game with the best-two-out-of-three rule is introduced. Each step of the game was evaluated by the proposed model. As the results imply, the proposed model generated psychologically appropriate emotions for a robot in the given situation. The empirical survey remains for future work to prove that this research improves social human robot interaction.
