ABSTRACT:
A method and a sub-system, henceforth called method DKA, for the determination and control of the activities of an emotional system aS, belonging to the class of autonomous, motivated agents and robots, is described. The method DKA determines the current motivation of the system aS to carry out an activity. Said motivation is determined by stimulus patterns in situation models and the intensities of the satisfactions and the desires with regard to the needs of the system aS. Priorities for the activities of the aS are determined by motivations. DKA controls sub-activities which, at the request of the system aS, are carried out by other agents/robots. The method DKA can assess which objects, situations and activities are presently good and which are bad for the system aS. The applied internal representation of the world of the system aS can include very abstract situation models. Emotional systems, controlled by the method DKA, are particularly suitable: for the care of the sick, as robotic servants for carrying out domestic tasks and for routine client services.
