Emotional Machines. Perspectives from Affective Computing and Emotional Human-Machine Interaction

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.
