Real-time robotic agent based on emotions

Emotional systems are being considered with renewed interests as powerful computational models to design better and more intelligent robots. The aim of the work presented in this paper is to design a real-time agent based on emotions and motivations to produce behaviors that are consistent with intelligent performance in the real world. The emotional agent that will be described is founded on three main entities: concepts, emotions and conscious processes. The concepts and conscious processes are data and processes respectively. The conscience help the data and processes to organise their life cycle. The emotions adjust the motivations of the processes based on the confidence of the concepts to satiate the agent desires.
