Cognitive robots of human character: Towards development of anthropomimetic robots with human personality

Abstract

It is expected in the future that Robots will be reliable partners of humans in accomplishing different activities and thereby to express high degree of mutual understanding, compatibility and coordination between each-other. In that sense, along with the advance physical abilities, personal robots will be required to perceive, understand and express (use) the emotions as well as to react in a socially accepted manner by enhancing in such a way their interaction with social environment. In a word, robot is expected to posses a character, i.e. personality traits like human as live model. Possessing of character is of great importance for robot-partners due to reason of better acceptance amongst the humans as well as in order to make robots to be able of better understanding people behavior. The fact proved is that high degree of interpersonal compatibility, emotive complementarity and mutual understanding within a team or group ensures better outcomes than the team consists of superior individuals of high intelligence quotients (IQs). People choose partners in a way to be complementary with them and ones that manifest in general sense high level of mutual understandings and agreements. On the other hand, people do not enjoy the opposed persons of incompatible or conflict character. From these reasons, we investigate in the paper the answers if possible and how to give robots different characters i.e. attributes of human personalities.
