Abstract

Robots will be part of our society in the future. It is therefore important that they are able to interact with humans in a natural way. This requires the ability to display social competence and behavior that will promote such interactions. Here we present the details of modeling the emergence of emotional states, adaptive internal needs and motivational drives. We explain how this model is enriched by the usage of a homeostatic and allostatic control that aim at regulating its behavior. We evaluate the model during a human-robot interaction and we show how this model is able to produce meaningful and complex behaviors.
