"Our view is not that computers could actually feel, but that it is possible to extract some major functions of emotional systems in humans and simulate them to render artificial systems more intelligent as well as aware of human affective and/or social processes."

We are interested in research on affect, emotion, and personality at the intersection of research in Artificial Intelligence, Human-Computer Interaction, and Robotics. Emotional systems in humans influence important cognitive processes such as salience determination, focus and attention, priority determination, interruption in emergency situation, memorization and recall, goal generation, goal attribution, categorization, and preference.
All these processes are important for intelligent systems with limited resources evolving in an unpredictable environment, including artificial ones (W. Clancey; N. Frijda; M. Minsky, D. Norman, A. Ortony, R. Picard, D. Rumelhart, H. Simon; A. Sloman; R. Zajonc).
