Allowing the interaction process to influence the expression of the robot head can in turn influence the way the user interacts with the robot, in addition to allowing the user to better understand the intentions of the robot during this process. We discuss some of the interactions that are possible with ERWIN and how this can affect the response of the system. We show an example scenario where the interaction process makes the robot go through several different emotions.}, url = {http://image.ece.ntua.gr/projects/feelix/system/files/Murray_SAB_final-1.pdf}, author = {John C Murray and Lola Ca{\~n}amero}, editor = {Robert Lowe and Morse, A and Ziemke, T} } @inproceedings {2005, title = {The Degree of Potential Damage in Agonistic Contests and its Effects on Social Aggression, Territoriality and Display Evolution}, booktitle = {Proc. 2005 IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation (CEC 2005)}, year = {2005}, pages = {351{\textendash}358}, publisher = {IEEE}, organization = {IEEE}, address = {Edinburgh, Scotland}, isbn = {0-7803-9363-5}, author = {Robert Lowe and Nehaniv, Chrystopher L and Daniel Polani and Lola Ca{\~n}amero} } @inproceedings {2004, title = {The Evolution of Affect-Related Displays, Recognition and Related Strategies}, booktitle = {ALIFE IX: Proceeding of the 9th international conference on the simulation and synthesis of living systems}, year = {2004}, pages = {176{\textendash}181}, publisher = {MIT Press}, organization = {MIT Press}, abstract = {This paper presents an ecologically motivated, bottom-up approach to investigating the evolution of expression, perception and related behaviour of affective internal states that complements game-theoretic studies of the evolutionary success of animal display. Our results show that the perception of displays related to affect greatly influences both the types of display produced and also the survival prospects of agents. Relative to agents that do not perceive rival agent internal state, affect perceivers prosper if the initial environment in which they reside provides numerous opportunities for interaction with other agents and resources. Conversely, where the initial environment with sparse resources does not allow for regular interaction, ability to perceive affect is not as facilitatory to survival. Furthermore, the agents evolve particular display strategies distorting the expression of affect and greatly influencing the proportion of affect perceiving to nonaffect perceiving agents over evolutionary time.}, isbn = {9780262661836}, author = {Robert Lowe and Lola Ca{\~n}amero and Nehaniv, Chrystopher L and Daniel Polani}, editor = {Jordan Pollack and Mark A Bedau and Phil Husbands and Takashi Ikegami and Richard A.
