Course Description:
Applications of new theories of emotion to the
construction of artificial systems and devices. The course covers theories of
emotion and the role of emotion in intelligent behavior and how these theories
might be applied to design. This leads to three themes: I - The design of
products that are emotionally satisfying and effective; II - The design of
products that can sense human emotion and respond appropriately ("Affective
Computing"); III - the design of autonomous systems that have emotions (e.g.,
robots, game characters, and software agents).
