Celainfluence par exemple leurs facult{\'e}s {\`a} explorer ou imiter. Pour mieux comprendre ces ph{\'e}nom{\`e}nes, nous proposons un mod{\`e}le bas{\'e} sur le ph{\'e}nom{\`e}ne de l{\textquoteright}empreinte de liens affectifs et de leurs effets. Apr{\`e}s avoir propos{\'e} des solutions pour simuler ces liens, nous montrerons comment nous pouvons les utiliser, o{\`u} ils peuvent {\^e}tre utilis{\'e}s afin de moduler les comportements d{\textquoteright}exploration et d{\textquoteright}imitation d{\textquoteright}un robot r{\'e}el. Finalement, nous discuterons du nouveau regard que peut apporter cette mod{\'e}lisation sur le comportement et le d{\'e}veloppement affectif des enfants.

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.},
