SUMMARYExploration is a fundamental problem in robotics, and multi-robot systems exploration has been extensively studied in this field. In order to overcome the problem of a non-optimal target being selected in the exploration process, a revised single linkage clustering frontier cell (CFC) algorithm is proposed to calculate the exploration benefit of all available frontier cells. Moreover, there exist unexplored islands for most of the bidding-based multi-robot coordination algorithms in the exploration of unknown environments. To deal with this problem, some rules switched by emotion states are proposed. So, the proposed bidding coordination algorithm with CFC and an emotion switch has a hierarchical architecture. The upper level is modeled as an automaton, which is used to represent emotion status, and the emotion variables decide whether a robot will participate in a bid and explore an unknown area abiding by the walking rules. In the lower level, the robots perform bidding activities with CFC and the walking rules according to the emotion variables. We tested and evaluated our approach by means of experiments both in a simulated environment and with real robots. The experiments results demonstrate that the exploration efficiency is improved, and our algorithm has a greater coverage rate than classic bidding-based coordination algorithms.

“…Their experiments showed that the robot could provide more humanlike communications to users based on the emotional model. Banik et al [17] demonstrated an emotion-based task sharing approach to a cooperative multiagent robotic system. Their approach can give a robot a kind of personality through the accumulation of past emotional experience.…”

This paper presents a method of mood transition design of a robot for autonomous emotional interaction with humans. A 2-D emotional model is proposed to combine robot emotion, mood, and personality in order to generate emotional expressions. In this design, the robot personality is programmed by adjusting the factors of the five factor model proposed by psychologists. From Big Five personality traits, the influence factors of robot mood transition are determined. Furthermore, a method to fuse basic robotic emotional behaviors is proposed in order to manifest robotic emotional states via continuous facial expressions. An artificial face on a screen is a way to provide a robot with a humanlike appearance, which might be useful for human-robot interaction. An artificial face simulator has been implemented to show the effectiveness of the proposed methods. Questionnaire surveys have been carried out to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed method by observing robotic responses to a user's emotional expressions. Preliminary experimental results on a robotic head show that the proposed mood state transition scheme appropriately responds to a user's emotional changes in a continuous manner.

“…The authors of [7] define a hybrid approximation for multi-robot systems; work [8] proposes an algorithm based on the human immunological system for the cooperative transportation of objects. Other works have added emotions to the robots in the system; in [9,10,11,12,13] are specified emotions in multi-robot systems, to consider the influence of them in the decision making of each robot. On the other hand, the learning and recognition also have been analyzed in multi-robot systems [14,15].…”

Swarm robotics is a system of multiple robots where a desired collective behavior emerges from the interactions between the robots and with the environment. This paper proposes an emotional model for the robots, to allow emerging behaviors. The emotional model uses four universal emotions: anger, disgust, sadness, and joy, assigned to each robot based on the level of satisfaction of its basic needs. These emotions lie on a spectrum where depending where the emotion of the robot lies, can affect its behavior and of its neighboring robots. The more negative the emotion is, the more individualistic it becomes in its decisions. The more positive the robot is in its emotion, the more it will consider the group and global goals. Each robot is able to recognize another robot's emotion in the system based on their current state, using the AR2P recognition algorithm. Specifically, the paper addresses emotions’ influence on the behavior of the system, at the individual and collective levels, and the emotions’ effects on the emergent behaviors of the multi-robot system. The paper analyses two emergent scenarios: nectar harvesting and object transportation, and shows the importance of the emotions into the emergent behavior in a multi-robot system
