Sc., Yverdon-les-Bains -Happy- Hello everybody I am happy to be here My name is R H 3 - Y Just call me Harry. And you see above the human members of my team. -Blinking Eye- -Neutral2- I shall tell you a few words about emotions, and expressions of emotions. - in general, make from time to time during the presentation a motion of the robot, arm or hand - 1

4 Models for emotions Emotions Result from changes in perception and consequences Related to convergence/deviation between status and goals Lead to strategic changes Experts suggest 2D or 3D emotional space Arousal: activity level (re. Energy, quantity of perceived information, urgency and intensity of desired changes, of planned actions). Always positive. Or zero. Valence: happiness degree; can be negative (re. Also benefits and costs) (Stance) References: Goris 2008, Lim 2007, Garcia-Rojas 2006, Russel 2005 and Neutral2- Emotions seem to result from perceptions, and from their new consequences, on convergence or deviations between internal status and goals Experts feel that 2 or 3 vectorial dimensions are sufficient to support emotions. Mostly: 1 - Arousal, - tired I look tired - 3 second - surprised I look surprised - 3 second and 2 - Valence - unhappy I look unhappy - 3 second - happy - I am happy - 3 second 4

Images and icons Priority is typically given to facial expression

RH3-Y examples for classical emotions: re J.A.

are often shown by the face. In real, or in image.

9 Other ways to express emotions 1 Classical ways to express robot status, perceptions, decisions and planned actions are used on our control panels An extension is now possible, e.g. with a finger in front of the mouth instead of the green «Mute» panel, the head turning right, instead of «goal angle : -20 degrees», etc. 9 -Neutral2- I traditionnally show my status, processes and intentions on various control screens And I could now link these classical data with iconic parametrization 9

Other ways to express emotions 2 Instead of moving icons, as for turning head, it is better to turn the robot which carries the display More generally, robots can also express their emotions Blink

11 Other ways to express emotions 2 Instead of moving icons, as for turning head, it is better to turn the robot which carries the display More generally, robots can also express their emotions Blink lights (re. Flashing signal Out 1) Shout (re. RH2-Y barking in Atlanta) Move (dance?) Waive arm? Those who know RH-Y also know its motor voice or how the right wheel tends to lag behind when batteries run tired 11 -Neutral2 I can express my emotions in many other ways: blinking, barking, moving my body and my arm. And most naturally, those who know me also know when my motors are servoed and how my right wheel tends to lag behind, when my batteries run tired 11
