Performance of emotional group robotic system using mass psychology
Hiroyuki ISHIHARA, Toshio Fukuda · 2002
We propose a new concept of the group robotic system which decides their motion based on the mass psychology. Mass psychology is a subject of behaviour of a crowd of organisms, especially focusing the effect of emotion on the behaviour of a group of organisms. In a group of organisms, the emotion has an effect on their motion and telecommunication between them. We apply this principle of emotion based behaviour to a group robotic system and propose the algorithm to control it using this theory. The simulation results obtained show the effectiveness of the algorithms using emotion.
