Abstract

This paper presents a cognitive model for an autonomous agent based on emotional psychology and Bayesian programming. A robot with emotional responses allows us to plan behaviour in a different way than present robotic architectures and provides us with a method of generating a new interface for human/robot interaction. The use of emotional modules means that the emotional state of the robot can be obtained directly and, therefore, it is relatively simple to obtain a virtual face that represents these emotions. An autonomous agent could have a model of the environment to be able to interact with the real universe where it is working. It is necessary to consider that any model of a real phenomenon will be incomplete due to the existence of uncertain, unknown variables that influence the phenomenon. Two example arquitectures are proposed here. Using these architectures some experimental data, to verify the correctness of this approach, is provided.
