Interdisciplinary research on emotions in machines has been divided until now in two branches of research which have so far been largely unrelated: affective computing and emotional human-machine interaction. By associating these two branches and by combining technological perspectives with the humanities and social sciences, we hope to provide a forum for research on machines that are supposed to be equipped with emotions and/or are capable of interacting emotionally with humans. In our volume „Emotional Machines”, we aim to reunite approaches from disciplines such as philosophy, computer science, engineering, psychology, sociology, design and the arts.weiterlesen
