Artificial Emotions for autonomous robot

The cognitive sciences grew up studying cognition--rational, logical thought. Emotion was traditionally ignored as some leftover from our animal heritage. It turns out that's not true. For example people who have suffered damage to the prefrontal lobes so that they can no longer show emotions are very intelligent and sensible, but they cannot make decisions.' Emotion', or 'affect,' contribute to the information processing system, in a dinstict way from cognition. Autonomous robots needing to deal with unexpected problems that cannot be solved by hard-coded algorithms should have function similar to emotions for the same reason that people do: to keep them safe, make them curious and help them to learn The present work propose an architecture using functionalities similar to those emotions have in human cognition for an evolving robot diving in a real world environment.
