Whether they are considered discrete or dimensional, emotions are ’embodied’ phenomena.The embodied agent does not play a merely passive role in emotion processing
We see a shift towards robots that need to interact in relation to the social and emotional aspects of human environments
Summary
Whether they are considered discrete or dimensional, emotions are ’embodied’ phenomena. The extent to which such robots socially appropriately express emotional or empathic states [3], e.g., according to underlying homeostatic computations [2], largely determines the extent to which the robots are positively received by their human inter-actors Such aspects of embodiment to emotional activity in robots, including how emotions influence decision-making and aspects of functional (including non-social) interactive behavior, are often undervalued or at least sub-ordinated with respect to the expressive facets of emotional embodiment. The aforementioned role of homeostasis has been demonstrated to provide an important function for robots required to behave autonomously over unspecified durations, e.g., in not-well-understood, or otherwise inaccessible, environments [4–10] This notion has more recently been extended to incorporate the notion of predictive regulation (or allostasis) [11,12] and has been considered with respect to artificial systems [13,14].
