Understanding Emotions
For Designers of Humanoid Robots

The author has discovered a really simple way to explain emotions. This compact guide conveys this simple approach to those who are intrigued by emotions and able to read a scientific paper or textbook. This simple approach will help the reader avoid the seemingly unending debate amongst neurologists, psychologists and philosophers as to what emotions are. It offers a practical 'engineering-type' explanation of how emotions work in the brain and how we can build machines with real humanlike emotions. The guide includes a short piece of pseudo code showing how the functionality can be incorporated into a computer program that provides physical robots and virtual agents with artificial emotions.
