Abstract

We investigated the effects of an adaptive empathic model in repeated interactions between users and social robots. The proposed model includes an online learning decision-making mechanism that allows the robot to select the most appropriate supportive behaviors based on the impact that similar behaviors had in keeping the user in a positive affective state.

Abstract
In this article we discuss whether robots need "interiority" in order to competently participate in emotional and empathic dynamics with human partners. We draw on original research on emotions, mind, neurophysiological mechanisms of social ...
Simulating empathic behavior in a social assistive robot

When used as an interface in the context of Ambient Assisted Living (AAL), a social robot should not just provide a task-oriented support. It should also try to establish a social empathic relation with the user. To this aim, it is crucial to endow the ...
