Patent number: 9324245Abstract: An apparatus and a method for creating combined artificial feelings to which different basic feelings like a human being's combined feeling are reflected. The apparatus for creating an artificial feeling comprises a feeling value group creation part which is configured to create a feeling value group having a feeling value which gradually decreased as it gets farther from a basic feeling assigned to a machine apparatus on an internal state coordinate system of a machine apparatus; and a feeling creation part which is configured to create, as a feeling of a machine apparatus, a group of a feeling value of each feeling value group that a coordinate of an internal state input value of the machine apparatus indicates on the internal state coordinate system.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2012Date of Patent: April 26, 2016Assignee: KOREA INSTITUTE OF INDUSTRIAL TECHNOLOGYInventors: Ho Seok Ahn, Dong Wook Lee, Woong Hee Shon

Patent number: 9211645Abstract: An optimal behavior combination of a robot in consideration of the robot's previous feeling is generated. In other words, the robot may express its feelings by combinations of its behavioral express elements which reflect its previous feelings. In particular, it has a continuity determination unit for determining whether a behavior to be expressed should be same as or different from a currently expressed behavior.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2012Date of Patent: December 15, 2015Assignee: Korea Institute of Industrial TechnologyInventors: Ho Seok Ahn, Dong Wook Lee, Woong Hee Shon

Patent number: 9037526Abstract: An apparatus for selecting a motion signifying artificial feeling is provided. The apparatus includes: an feeling expression setting unit configured to set probabilities of each feeling expression behavior performed for each expression element of a robot for each predetermined feeling; a behavior combination generation unit configured to generate at least one behavior combination combined by randomly extracting the feeling expression behaviors in each expression element one by one; and a behavior combination selection unit configured to calculate an average for the probabilities of the feeling expression behaviors included in each behavior combination for each feeling of a robot and select behavior combinations in which the average of the probabilities of the feeling expression behaviors most approximates the predetermined feeling value of a robot from each behavior combination.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2012Date of Patent: May 19, 2015Assignee: KOREA INSTITUTE OF INDUSTRIAL TECHNOLOGYInventors: Ho Seok Ahn, Dong Wook Lee, Woong Hee Shon
