• Title: Survey and Perspective on Social Emotions in Robotics
• Authors: Chie Hieida and Takayuki Nagai
• Abstract summary: In robotics, emotions are pursued for a long duration, such as recognition, expression, and computational modeling. Social emotions, also called higher-level emotions, have been studied in psychology. We believe that these higher-level emotions are worth pursuing in robotics for next-generation social-aware robots.

• Abstract: This study reviews research on social emotions in robotics. In robotics, emotions are pursued for a long duration, such as recognition, expression, and computational modeling of the basic mechanism behind them. Research has been promoted according to well-known psychological findings, such as category and dimension theories. Many studies have been based on these basic theories, addressing only basic emotions. However, social emotions, also called higher-level emotions, have been studied in psychology. We believe that these higher-level emotions are worth pursuing in robotics for next-generation social-aware robots. In this review paper, while summarizing the findings of social emotions in psychology and neuroscience, studies on social emotions in robotics at present are surveyed. Thereafter, research directions towards implementation of social emotions in robots are discussed.

  Many emotion fundamentals remain under-explored in natural language processing. We treat emotions as strategies to cope with salient situations. We introduce the task of coping identification, together with a corpus to do so, constructed via role-playing.

  We design and label four types of empathetic non-verbal cues, abbreviated as SAFE: Speech, Action (gesture), Facial expression, and Emotion, in a social robot. Preliminary results show distinct patterns in the robot's responses, such as a preference for calm and positive social emotions like 'joy' and 'lively', and frequent nodding gestures. Our work lays the groundwork for future studies on human-robot interactions, emphasizing the essential role of both verbal and non-verbal cues in creating social and empathetic robots.

  We propose a novel formulation that measures the relative difference between the speech samples of different emotions. We then incorporate our formulation into a sequence-to-sequence emotional text-to-speech framework. At run-time, we control the model to produce the desired emotion mixture by manually defining an emotion attribute vector.

  Next-generation artificial emotional intelligence (AEI) is taking center stage to address users' desire for deeper, more meaningful human-machine interaction. Unlike theory of emotion, which has been the historical focus in psychology, emotion models are a descriptive tools. This work has broad implications in social robotics, human-machine interaction, mental healthcare, and computational psychology.

  In social robotics, endowing humanoid robots with the ability to generate bodily expressions of affect can improve human-robot interaction and collaboration. We implement a deep learning data-driven framework that learns from a few hand-designed robotic bodily expressions. The evaluation study found that the anthropomorphism and animacy of the generated expressions are not perceived differently from the hand-designed ones.
