Abstract

Evolutionary psychology (EP) is an approach toward the study of human behavior that encompasses theories of evolutionary biology and cognitive psychology. EP, originally based upon Darwin's theory of natural selection, seeks to explain various psychological phenomena. Theories of cognition proposed in EP can be examined through artificial life (also known as A-Life) research that involves the study of organic systems and their adaptive behaviors. Romantic behavior is a key component of the human reproductive process and is therefore conducive to evolution. The simulation and analysis of such romantic behavior is possible through A-Life research. This article explores the biological origin of romantic behavior in addition to theories regarding the phenomenon known as “love.” Through the implementation of romantic characteristics on robots in a virtual society, we analyze the impact “love” has on their chance for survival. This work attempts to demonstrate the liquidity across various domains of cognitive informatics.

恋爱中的机器人:进化心理学、人工生命和认知机器人

进化心理学(EP)是研究人类行为的一种方法，涵盖了进化生物学和认知心理学理论。心理学最初以达尔文的自然选择理论为基础，试图解释各种心理现象。EP中提出的认知理论可以通过人工生命(也称为A-Life)研究来检验，该研究涉及对有机系统及其适应行为的研究。浪漫行为是人类生殖过程的关键组成部分，因此有利于进化。通过A-Life的研究，这种浪漫行为的模拟和分析成为可能。这篇文章探讨了浪漫行为的生物学起源，以及关于“爱”现象的理论。通过虚拟社会中浪漫特征在机器人身上的实现，分析了“爱”对机器人生存机会的影响。这项工作试图展示跨认知信息学的各个领域的流动性。
