Abstract

The similarities between the human autonomic nervous system and the hardware mechanisms of robots are discussed. The hardware of the autonomic nervous system incorporated into the independent autonomous mobile robot WAMOEBA-2 (Waseda Artificial Mind On Emotion BAse) which has been developed for the realization of the emotional communication between humans and robots is presented. WAMOEBA-2 has four kinds of hormone parameters using the original algorithm, the evaluation function for self-preservation. These parameters influence various parts of the mechanical system so that WAMOEBA-2 can cope with its environment and `express emotions'.
