Method for detecting the emotional state of a person by a robot.

摘要

The invention relates to a method for detecting the emotional state of a person by a robot, the robot comprising a situation manager, which is subdivided into a situation network for determining needs and an action network for determining measures to meet the needs, a scheduler for prioritizing Measures proposed by the situation manager and optionally an input device, and a sensor for detecting an event. Both the situation network and the action network are based on probabilistic models. The subdivision of the situation manager into a situation network and an action network means that the calculation of the appropriate measure for a specific situation is not based directly on the actual data, but rather on the calculation of the needs of the specific situation. Furthermore, the invention relates to a robot for carrying out the method.
