An affective energy distributing model and affective state probability description space were set up on the basis of the psychological energy of the psycho-dynamics and affective energy conservation law.The emotional state transferring process and the hidden Markov chain algorithm for self-inspired transition processes were then studied.The personal robot platform,consisting of hardware with a software architecture,was based on the affective model of artificial psychology.Simulation results and experiments on this personal robot platform showed that the mathematical model was an accurate representation of affective state change rules in human beings.They effectively demonstrated the validity of the model.
