Facial Expression of Social Interaction Based on Emotional Motivation of Animal Robot

Abstract

This paper aims to develop the research based on a pet robot and its artificial consciousness. We propose the animal behavior and emotion using the artificial neurotransmitter and motivation. This research still implements the communication between human and a pet robot respecting to a social cognitive and interaction. Thus, the development of cross-creature communication is crucial for friendly companionship. This system focuses on three points. The first that is the organization of the behavior and emotion model regarding the phylogenesis. The second is the method of the robot that can have empathy with user expression. The third is how the robot can socially perform its expression to human for encouragement or being delighted based on its own emotion and the human expression. This paper eventually presents the performance and the experiment that the robot using cross-perception and cross-expression between animal robot and social interaction of human communication based on the consciousness based architecture (CBA).
