EMOTION EXPRESSION DEVICE OF A ROBOT CAPABLE OF RECOGNIZING AN EXTERNAL STIMULUS

摘要

PURPOSE: An emotion expression device of a robot is provided to accurately determine the behavior of a robot depending on mapped basic emotion by mapping cognitive emotion on one or more basic emotions of an emotion model.;CONSTITUTION: An emotion expression device of a robot comprises a recognition unit, a cognitive emotion determining unit(310), a cognitive emotion mapping unit(320), a behavior determining unit(330), and an actuator. The recognition unit recognizes an external stimulus. The cognitive emotion determining unit determines cognitive emotion corresponding to the external stimulus based on a pre-set sensibility evaluation model. The cognitive emotion mapping unit maps the cognitive emotion on one or more basic emotions. The behavior determining unit determines a behavior corresponding to the mapped basic emotions. The actuator is powered depending on the determined behavior.;COPYRIGHT KIPO 2012
