Influence of Emotions on Decision Making by an Intelligent Robot

This article proposes new methods for assessing the strength of emotions that affect the decision-making of an intelligent robot when optimizing a route. The methods offer approaches to assess the strength of emotion based on the use of sensory signals and based on the analysis of images in the choice environment. The images are formed after the processing of sensory signals and, on their basis, lines of parameters and characteristics of the reference sections of movement are created. They are compared with standards that characterize the logical-probabilistic and/or logical-linguistic parameters and characteristics of the reference sections of the routes. In addition, the standards contain the corresponding values of the forces of emotional impact. Algorithms for choosing the optimal routes for an intelligent robot based on the proposed methods for assessing the strength of emotions are described.
