Location-dependent emotional memory for natural communication of partner robots

This paper deals with an emotional model based on location-dependent emotional memory and location-dependent physical memory for partner robots to realize natural communication with people. First we discuss the functions of emotion in social interaction, and we propose an emotional model. Furthermore, the episode memory is related with the change of feelings. Therefore, we propose a map building method based on the emotional model. Next, we propose a behavior control method based on emotional model. Finally, we show several experimental results of the proposed method, and discuss the availability of the emotional model based on location-dependent memory.
