| Abstract | |
Assuming that robots will coexist with humans in the near future, it is conspicuous the need of Intelligent Control Architectures suitable for Human-Robot Interaction. Henceforth, this research has developed a behavioral Control Architecture Organization, whose main purpose is to allow the intuitive interaction of robot and people, thus fostering the collaboration between them. To this end, a synthetic emotional module, based on the Circumplex emotion theory, promoted the adaptation of the robot behaviors, implemented using Motor Schema theory, and the communication of its internal state. This Organization supported the adoption of the Control Architecture into an assistive application, which consists of the case study of assistive social robots as an auxiliary tool for special education. The experiments have demonstrated that the developed control architecture was able to meet the requirements of the application, which were conceived according to the opinion of the consulted experts. Thereafter, this thesis contributes with the design of a control architecture that is able to act upon the subjective evaluation based on cognitive beliefs of emotions, the development of a low-cost mobile robot, and the development of the case study in special education.
