Agent's Desire State Expression by Combining Tactile Heartbeat and Visible Behaviors

Abstract

In this paper, we verify whether an agent's internal state of desire can be expressed by combining the agent's visible behavior and tactile heartbeat as an involuntary physiological phenomenon. The results of the experiment confirmed that the agent's desires related to food are expressed by both heartbeat and behavior, furthermore, their combination expresses a strong desire. On the other hand, "being interested," the initial state of desire, and "being patient," internal suppression, both appear in the heartbeat but not in visual behaviors.
