An Innovative Mobile Phone Based System For Humanoid Robot Expressing Emotions And Personality
2011
In this paper we illustrate a new version of the cognitive architecture of an emotional humanoid robot based on the proposed paradigm of Latent Semantic Behaviour (LSB). This paradigm is a step towards the simulation of an emotional behavior of a robot interacting with humans. The New Architecture uses a different procedure of induction of the emotional conceptual space and an Android mobile phone as user-friendly for the emotional interaction with robot. The robot generates its overall behavior also taking into account its "personality" encoded in the emotional conceptual space. To validate the system, we implemented the distribute system on a Aldebaran NAO humanoid robot and on a Android …
An Architecture for Humanoid Robot Expressing Emotions and Personality
2010
In this presentation we illustrate the cognitive architecture of a humanoid robot based on the proposed paradigm of Latent Semantic Behavior (LSB). LSB is based on the Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA) approach that allow the creation and the use of a data driven high-dimensional conceptual space. This paradigm is a step towards the simulation of an emotional behavior of a robot interacting with humans. The Architecture is organized in three main areas: Sub-Conceptual, Emotional and Behavioral. The first area processes perceptual data coming from the sensors. The second area is the "conceptual space of emotional states" which constitutes the sub-symbolic representation of emotions. The last ar…
A New Humanoid Architecture for Social Interaction between Human and a Robot Expressing Human-Like Emotions Using an Android Mobile Device as Interfa…
2013
In this paper we illustrate a humanoid robot able to interact socially and naturally with a human by expressing human-like body emotions. The emotional architecture of this robot is based on an emotional conceptual space generated using the paradigm of Latent Semantic Analysis. The robot generates its overall affective behavior (Latent Semantic Behavior) taking into account the visual and phrasal stimuli of human user, the environment and its personality, all encoded in his emotional conceptual space. The robot determines its emotion according by all these parameters that influence and orient the generation of his behavior not predictable from the user. The goal of this approach is to obtai…
An architecture with a mobile phone interface for the interaction of a human with a humanoid robot expressing emotions and personality
2011
In this paper is illustrated the cognitive architecture of a humanoid robot based on the proposed paradigm of Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA). This paradigm is a step towards the simulation of an emotional behavior of a robot interacting with humans. The LSA approach allows the creation and the use of a data driven high-dimensional conceptual space. We developed an architecture based on three main areas: Sub-conceptual, Emotional and Behavioral. The first area analyzes perceptual data coming from the sensors. The second area builds the sub-symbolic representation of emotions in a conceptual space of emotional states. The last area triggers a latent semantic behavior which is related to the h…
Sulla fortuna di «Misero pargoletto»: materiali e ipotesi
2020
The aria "Misero pargoletto", sung by Timante in the third act of Pietro Metastasio's "Demofoonte", enjoyed exceptional fortune throughout the eighteenth century. The text was set tu music dozens of times not only as part of the opera it belongs to, but also as an independent piece. This essay discusses the judgements expressed on "Misero pargoletto" by several men of letters and theorists, examines some buffo parodies of the aria that demonstrate its wide notoriety, and formulates some hypotheses about the reasons for such a great success, which can be partially justified by the new conception of fatherood that emerged in the so-called Age of Sensibility.
Emotions Course: l’esperienza di un intervento educativo per la promozione della competenza socio-emotiva nella scuola dell’infanzia
2017
L’esperienza qui presentata s’inserisce nell’ambito degli interventi condotti secondo un approccio evidencebased nella scuola dell’infanzia e riguarda la realizzazione dell’Emotions Course (EC; Di Maggio, Zappulla e Izard, 2014), un percorso educativo finalizzato alla promozione delle abilità socio-emotive in età prescolare. Il programma è stato elaborato facendo riferimento ai fondamenti e agli sviluppi della teoria differenziale delle emozioni, i cui principi sono stati «tradotti» in modo da formare le basi concettuali ed empiriche dell’intervento, articolato nell’ottica della prevenzione primaria e secondaria (Izard, 2002, 2009). In particolare, l’EC è stato applicato al fine di migliora…
The Contribution of Bullying Involvement and Alexithymia to Somatic Complaints in Preadolescents
2023
Somatic complaints during preadolescence are connected to individual and contextual factors, and extant research highlights the relevance of alexithymia and bullying involvement. In this cross-sectional study, we explored the joint and unique influence of bullying involvement—as perpetrators, victims, or outsiders—and alexithymia on somatic complaints in a sample of 179 Italian middle-school students (aged 11–15). Findings revealed an indirect association between bullying perpetration and victimization complaints through alexithymia. We also found a significant direct association between victimization and somatic complaints. No significant association between outsider beha…
La valutazione del temperamento infantile: osservazioni dirette e indirette delle espressioni emotive nel primo anno di vita
2016
Lo studio si propone di esaminare le differenze individuali nell’espressione delle emozioni di gioia, rabbia, interesse e paura e nel livello di attività di bambini nel primo anno di vita, utilizzando un approccio multi-metodo basato sull’utilizzo di uno strumento di osservazione diretta, la Lab-TAB (Goldsmith e Rothbart, 1999), e uno strumento di osservazione indiretta, il questionario IBQ-R (Montirosso, Cozzi, Putnam, Gartstein e Borgatti, 2011). I dati delle osservazioni dirette sono stati rilevati attraverso due diversi sistemi di codifica: molecolare e globale. Obiettivo dello studio è anche di verificare se i risultati ottenuti con i due sistemi di codifica delle osservazioni converga…
Advising in family firms: shaping relational dynamics and trustful connections in strategy work
2022
The purpose of this article is to explore strategy advisors’ actions and interactions with family actors and nonfamily managers for strategy work in family businesses. By combining the strategy-as-practice perspective with the concept of emotional engagement practices, we interpret the case of a family firm collaborating with an external advisor over a 15-year period. We add to prior studies by showing how advisors work to build trustful and emotional connections that shape relational dynamics within evolving spaces of strategic discussion. We highlight the implications for strategy work, which change as relational dynamics develop over time.
Queering canons. Methodological heteronormativities and queer inquietudes
2015
The aim of this study is to present a series of epistemological and methodological reflections on the use of qualitative research methods in the study of non-normative sexualities. Particular emphasis will be highlighting the needs to reconsider queerly sociological oriented methods and methodology, paying attention to researcher’s ambiguous role, her body and emotions in the permanent reflexive research process and in encounters with the (co)-researched.
