Model of knowledge, emotion and awareness

摘要

The purpose of this research is to develop a cause and effect model of knowledge, emotion, and awareness using fuzzy cognitive maps (FCMs) for systems providing physical assistance to handicapped people, and to use the model with an agent. The agent is a mobile robot whose recognition capabilities and behavior represents a knowledge. The recognition is the estimation of a person's intentions and emotions using sensor information. The behavior is the forward and the backward displacement of the agent. The emotions of the agent are represented by the status "like" or "dislike", depending on the situation when the agent likes or dislikes the person. Finally, the awareness is the behavioral intention of the agent. The agent approaches the person or goes away from him based on the model. Experiments show the effectiveness of this model.
