THE NEED FOR EMOTIONAL ARCHITECTURES IN PRACTICAL ROBOTS

Abstract—Scientists have come to acknowledge that human and animal emotions are based on primitive survival mechanisms and that decision-making is dependent on emotions. Using a mixture of many current emotion architecture theories and research, this paper explores how and why such systems will be used in new generations of practical robots. Also, it is noted that many different causes, some of which have already been started, will lead to the development of emotional robots. 2 If one refers to a group of marching soldiers as “robotic, ” is that an insult, and should it be? There is a common misunderstanding that emotions are incompatible with machines. There is also a dissociation between the concepts of rationality and emotion. Yet there is not a strong association between rationality and machines—so that leaves machines in a vague area in which they will never be animalistic enough to be either rational or emotional.
