“…A user survey was conducted regarding the organized values and, in turn, the results were used to suggest the attributes and the level values that create a significant difference in the user experience aspect. Finally, by organizing with the level values in regards to the functional/semantic gesture (Chung, et al, 2020) derived from the previous study, the robot's gesture interface design factors that can be used in the aspect of the user experience are presented.…”

This study was to verify the attributes of the social robot's gesture design factors that has a significant difference in the user experience and to establish the level values of the attributes. To do so, the attributes and the level value standards for the gesture interface's key design factors have been organized and a user experience survey was conducted through researches on the existing literature and case studies. For the emotional gesture attributes, the level values were categorized as 'pleasure at low arousal', 'pleasure at high arousal', 'displeasure at low arousal', and 'displeasure at high arousal'. Among the communicative expression gesture attributes, the level values were categorized as 'idling, conversation induction and concentration, and empathy'. Lastly, the derived attributes and the level values for the 'emotional gesture' and 'communicative gesture' have been integrated with the ones for the 'functional/semantic gesture' derived on the previous studies; they have been presented as the robot's gesture interface design factors available in the aspect of the user experience.

An Emotional Model Based on Fuzzy Logic and Social Psychology for a Personal Assistant Robot

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Personal assistants and social robotics have evolved significantly in recent years thanks to the development of artificial intelligence and affective computing. Today’s main challenge is achieving a more natural and human interaction with these systems. Integrating emotional models into social robotics is necessary to accomplish this goal. This paper presents an emotional model whose design has been supervised by psychologists, and its implementation on a social robot. Based on social psychology, this dimensional model has six dimensions with twelve emotions. Fuzzy logic has been selected for defining: (i) how the input stimuli affect the emotions and (ii) how the emotions affect the responses generated by the robot. The most significant contribution of this work is that the proposed methodology, which allows engineers to easily adapt the robot personality designed by a team of psychologists. It also allows expert psychologists to define the rules that relate the inputs and outputs to the emotions, even without technical knowledge. This methodology has been developed and validated on a personal assistant robot. It consists of three input stimuli, (i) the battery level, (ii) the brightness of the room, and (iii) the touch of caresses. In a simplified implementation of the general model, these inputs affect two emotions that generate an externalized emotional response through the robot’s heartbeat, facial expression, and tail movement. The three experiments performed verify the correct functioning of the emotional model developed, demonstrating that stimuli, independently or jointly, generate changes in emotions that, in turn, affect the robot’s responses.
