Understanding Emotions: For designers of humanoid robots (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798730905061)

As part of the author's research into the brain, and the brain model that he has developed to control robots, he has discovered a really simple way to explain emotions. The purpose of this compact guide is to convey this simple approach to those who are intrigued by emotions and able to read a scientific paper or textbook. The author's simple approach will help the reader avoid the seemingly unending debate amongst neurologists, psychologists and philosophers as to what emotions are. It offers a practical 'engineering-type' explanation of how emotions work in the brain and how we can build machines with real humanlike emotions. The guide includes a short piece of pseudo code showing how the functionality can be incorporated into a computer program that provides physical robots and virtual agents with artificial emotions. The author also provides links to his research website and YouTube Channel where the approach has successfully been demonstrated as part of a brain model program that controls virtual and physical robots.
