“…Not only emotions lie at the basis of any informational-cognitive event, but they become also a mechanism to manage internal data as well as to share information with other agents. In that sense, emotions are embodied [23] and are the result of a natural evolutionary process that has increased survival ratios among those entities which use them, because of the greater adaptive skills they make possible [24][25][26]. This embodied nature of emotions affects also the way by which we perceive and construct our emotional experiences [27].…”

The concept of affordance perception is one of the distinctive traits of human cognition; and its application to robots can dramatically improve the quality of human-robot interaction (HRI). In this paper we explore and discuss the idea of "emotional affordances" by proposing a viable model for implementation into HRI; which considers allocentric and multimodal perception. We consider "2-ways" affordances: perceived object triggering an emotion; and perceived human emotion expression triggering an action. In order to make the implementation generic; the proposed model includes a library that can be customised depending on the specific robot and application scenario. We present the AAA (Affordance-Appraisal-Arousal) model; which incorporates Plutchik's Wheel of Emotions; and we outline some numerical examples of how it can be used in different scenarios.Multimodal Technologies and Interact. 2018, 2, 78 2 of 20 emotional mapping based on 6 Ekman's emotions [17,18], and secondly it defends an egocentric spatial imagery, which involves a self-to-object representational system. Most of current studies on robotics and emotions are based on very basic aspects of emotional clues, mainly, visual ones (and based on a one-to-one direct connection with Ekman's thesis). Instead, here we want to consider the temporal nature of emotional modulations as well as the multidimensional elucidators of emotional values. At least two works are worth mentioning in these regards: Breazeal's emotional model for the robot Kismet [19] and the emotional model used for the robot . Both of them rely on a model based on three dimensions: while those are interesting approaches, we go beyond that architecture, extending to the concepts of affordances and learning.We have previously discussed some of the issues related to emotions [21,22], and with this paper we extend those discussions and provide a new way to consider emotional affordances in HRI. In our previous research we have studied how to identify a fundamental tree of basic emotions and how this mapping can be transformed into a dynamical semantic model, which includes temporal variations and a "logic of transitions" (that is, to model mood changes that look as real in average humans). The increase of the complexity of such model as well as the affordance approach has helped us to define the several parameters that must be considered for complex HRI modelling.In the present manuscript, we propose a viable model for implementation into HRI. We implement the case of 2-way affordances:

A good starting point for reading about affect in relation to the body is the special section of Emotion Review in 2009 (see Niederthal and Maringer 2009) and the special issue of Body & Society in 2010 (see Blackman and Venn 2010).

Becoming attuned At that wonderful concert you attended, did the music fill your body, did your feet dance uncontrollably and did your voice crackle in the sing-along with people you had never met before? Do you remember the sweet pain in your palms after applauding and the almost suffocating throng of bodies? Was the atmosphere uplifting? Did it encapsulate sounds, sights, smells, bodily sensations, and feelings simultaneously? What about the sudden feeling of power and togetherness when you took part in a demonstration, the sudden shouting and rush of blood to the head when your home team scored a goal? By posing questions like this about the body, senses, feelings and atmosphere, we hope to attune readers to affect-the subject to which this book is devoted. We will look at how affects matter in general and, in particular, how they are related to the body, the environment, and things. This, we believe, is the contribution to which ethnology and anthropology are best suited, considering the changing yet persistent importance of material culture in these disciplines and of fieldwork for understanding the affective potentialities of objects. 1 Interdisciplinary studies of affect and emotion have produced 'a virtual explosion' of research and theoretical writings in the last decades, writes the psychologist Lisa Feldman Barrett (2010: 203), who heads an interdisciplinary affective science laboratory. These studies are not only marked by differing and sometimes conflicting theoretical perspectives

“…We have already considered whether this is a general rule or whether this fact indeed varies across culture; and how this fits with the SIMS. One of our major cultural hypotheses relates to the processing of in-group versus out-group facial expressions (e.g., Niedenthal & Maringer 2009). The foundational history of some societies -sometimes called "settler societies" where the focus is on the fact that a land occupied by an indigenous peoples was taken over and settled by people from other cultures and nationalitiesmay strongly influence the key behaviors of SIMS.…”
