Descripción
In this paper we argue for a morphofunctional approach to emotion modelling, that can also aid the design of adaptive embodied systems. By morphofunctionality we target the online change in both structure and function of a system, and relate it to the notion of physiology in animals. Besides the biological intuition that emotions serve the function of preparing the body, we investigate the control requirements that any morphofunctional autonomous system must face. We argue that changes in morphology modify the dynamics of the system, thus forming a variable structure system (VSS). We introduce some of the techniques in control theory to deal with VSS and derive a twofold hypothesis: first, the loose coupling between two control systems, in charge of action and action readiness respectively; second, the formation of patterned metacontrol. Emotional phenomena can be seen as emergent from this control setup.
