Abstract

The construction of androids as human-like robots depends on the presupposition of being able to interact, communicate and cooperate with humans in order to achieve satisfying results. Realizing these tasks means taking the challenge seriously. This is accomplished by the effort to construct mind-like creatures with subjectivity and possible personhood. Based on a cognitive modeling of emotions and the description of a ‘language of mind’ (LOM), we develop the representation of situations and the elicitation conditions of emotions together with their dependent dimensions, namely emotional mimics, gesture and posture, action tendencies and speech act latencies. These dimensions are shown to be integrable into a common structure which can be transformed into various applications like innovative structures of MMI and HRI, ranging from service robots to virtual interactions up to MMI-management of driver assistance systems.
