This research investigates how emotion can be used as the basis for autonomy and proposes the use of an emotion-based control language that maps over all layers of a computational architecture.
Abstract
Recent evidence suggests that the emotions play a crucial role in perception, learning and rational decision making. Despite arguments to the contrary, all artificial intelligent systems are, to some extent, autonomous. This research investigates how emotion can be used as the basis for autonomy. We propose the use of an emotion-based control language that maps over all layers of a computational architecture. We report on how theoretical work and both design and computational experiments with this concept are being used to direct perception, behavior selection and reasoning in cognitive agents. 1

The present model describes 4 types of emotion-activating systems, 3 of which involve noncognitive information processing and the hierarchical organization of the systems for generating emotions provides an adaptive advantage.

This dissertation has focused on implementing a platform for reasoning about emotions that supports the testing of psychological theory and model a multi-agent world and gives simple affective life to agents in the form of rudimentary emotions and emotion-induced actions.

Several arguments are presented against the assumption of runtime autonomy as a principle of design for artificial intelligence systems, one of which is that intelligence is not located in the system alone, it emerges from a history of interactions among user, builder, and designer over a given set of data.
