Description & Coverage
Description:

Emotions convey significant information through means of natural language analysis, embodiment, and emotional signing. Machines equipped with the ability to experience and interpret emotions perform better in complex environments and share in the emotionally-rich social context.

The Handbook of Research on Synthesizing Human Emotion in Intelligent Systems and Robotics presents a solid framework for taking human-robot interaction closer to its full potential. Presenting a close look at all the factors involved in modeling emotions and applying a thorough understanding of human emotional recognition to technology, this volume appeals to active researchers in the fields of artificial emotions, artificial intelligence, computing, robotics, philosophy, and psychology, as well as to students interested in the research of synthetic emotions.

Coverage:

The many academic areas covered in this publication include, but are not limited to:

  • Artificial Emotions
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Emotional Recognition
  • Human Emotional Recognition
  • Human-Robot Interaction
  • Intelligent Systems
  • Robotics
  • Synthetic Emotions
Reviews & Statements

Computer scientists, information scientists, philosophers of science, linguists, and other contributors explore how to recognize, model, and implement emotions, from natural domains to artificial ones. They cover modeling emotions, the body as a space for emotions, emotional recognition and implementation, and recent trends in synthetic emotions. Among their topics are representing emotions as dynamic interactions of symbols, a case study of literary texts, addressing human emotions with theories of embodied cognition, intention and body-mood engineering with proactive robot moves in human-robot interaction, developing robot emotions through interaction with caregivers, and military robotics and emotion, challenges to just war theory.
