Fuzzy quantum circuits to model emotional behaviors of humanoid robots

In this paper, we propose the concepts that apply quantum circuits to model Fuzzy Sets, thereby creating a new method to model behaviors for a humanoid robot. It is similar to the standard fuzzy sets from two points of view −1) of measured probabilities of state |1〉, and 2) that of the normalized measurement in a quantum ensemble computer. However, one can also look at the internal quantum states created by the operators of the new model. This extends fuzzy sets from [0, 1] interval to some other domain, similar to complex fuzzy logic, but also brings superposed, entangled and parallel quantum behaviors. The standard fuzzy logic aspect (external) of the new model maps the numbers in interval [0,1] to points on one meridian of the Bloch Sphere and after measurement, the results map back to numbers from interval [0,1]. However, the other, more important, aspect of this model (internal) is the operation on arbitrary quantum states, and the realization of additional states via phase measurements. We discuss and illustrate how this model can be used to represent a hidden state of reasoning agents or an emotional state of a humanoid robot.
