	abstract = {We consider how non-humanoid robots can communicate their affective state via bodily forms of communication, and the extent to which this can influence human response. We propose a simple model of grounded affect and kinesic expression and outline two experiments (N=9 and N=180) in which participants were asked to watch expressive and non-expressive hexapod robots perform different {\textquoteleft}scenes{\textquoteright}. Our preliminary findings suggest the expressive robot stimulated greater desire for interaction, and was more likely to be attributed with emotion. It also elicited more desire for prosocial behaviour.},

	abstract = {In this paper we present a socially interactive multi-modal robotic head, ERWIN - Emotional Robot With Intelligent Networks, capable of emotion expression and interaction via speech and vision. The model presented shows how a robot can learn to attend to the voice of a specific speaker, providing a relevant emotional expressive response based on previous interactions. We show three aspects of the system; first, the learning phase, allowing the robot to learn faces and voices from interaction. Second, recognition of the learnt faces and voices, and third, the emotion expression aspect of the system. We show this from the perspective of an adult and child interacting and playing a small game, much like an infant and caregiver situation. We also discuss the importance of speaker recognition in terms of Human-Robot-Interaction and emotion, showing how the interaction process between a participant and ERWIN can allow the robot to prefer to attend to that person.},

We also discuss how our research on attachment bonds could further developmental robotics in the near future.},

An infant{\textquoteright}s behavior varies (depending on the context) to a large degree as a function of the affective bonds that they have with the people that are also present. This influences their ability to explore or imitate, for example. In order to better understand these phenomena, we propose a model of affective bonds and their effects based on the imprinting phenomenon. After proposing solutions for simulating these bonds, we show how we can use them to modulate exploratory and imitative behaviors in a real robot. Finally, we discuss the new light that this model sheds on the affective behavior and development of children.},

	abstract = {Exploring the environment is essential for autonomous agents to learn new things and to consolidate past experiences and apply them to improve behavior. However, exploration is also risky as it exposes the agent to unknown, potentially overwhelming or dangerous situations. A trade-off must hence exist between activities such as seeking stability, autonomous exploration of the environment, imitation of novel actions performed by another agents, and taking advantage of opportunities offered by new situations and events. In this paper, we present a Perception-Action robotic architecture that achieves this tradeoff on the grounds of modulatory mechanisms based on notions of {\textquotedblleft}well-being{\textquotedblright} and {\textquotedblleft}affect{\textquotedblright}. We have implemented and tested this architecture using a Koala robot, and we present and discuss behavior of the robot in different contexts.},

Mo{\textquoteright}K is intended to assist ontology developers in the exploratory process of defining the most suitable learning methods for a given task. To do so, it provides facilities for evaluation, comparison, characterization and elaboration of conceptual clustering methods. Also, the model underlying Mo{\textquoteright}K permits a fine- grained definition of similarity measures and class construction operators, easing the tasks of method instantiation and configuration. This paper presents some experimental results that illustrate the suitability of the model to help characterize and assess the performance of different methods that learn semantic classes from parsed corpora.},
