Emotion and sociable humanoid robots
TLDR
The scientific basis underlying the humanoid robot's emotion models and expressive behavior is presented, and how these scientific viewpoints have been adapted to the current implementation are shown.Abstract:
This paper focuses on the role of emotion and expressive behavior in regulating social interaction between humans and expressive anthropomorphic robots, either in communicative or teaching scenarios. We present the scientific basis underlying our humanoid robot's emotion models and expressive behavior, and then show how these scientific viewpoints have been adapted to the current implementation. Our robot is also able to recognize affective intent through tone of voice, the implementation of which is inspired by the scientific findings of the developmental psycholinguistics community. We first evaluate the robot's expressive displays in isolation. Next, we evaluate the robot's overall emotive behavior (i.e. the coordination of the affective recognition system, the emotion and motivation systems, and the expression system) as it socially engages nave human subjects face-to-face.read more

Descartes' Error: Emotion, Reason, and the Human Brain
TL;DR: The authors argued that rational decisions are not the product of logic alone - they require the support of emotion and feeling, drawing on his experience with neurological patients affected with brain damage, Dr Damasio showed how absence of emotions and feelings can break down rationality.

Descartes' Error: Emotion, Reason and the Human Brain
TL;DR: Brain books are similarly popular: humans are considered from a pathological/laboratory perspective and computer metaphors abound (your mind is your software!) and there are boxes and arrows in profusion.
