Emotion Modelling for Social Robots

This chapter describes current advances in emotion modelling for social robots. It begins by contextualising the role of emotions in social robots, considering the concept of the Affective Loop. It describes a number of elements for the synthesis and expression of emotions through robotic embodiments and provides an overview of the area of emotional adaptation and empathy in social robots.
