Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is one of the most significant innovations in technology. Among its varieties, Artificial Emotional Intelligence, also called Affective Computing (AC) is an upcoming technology that enables machines to identify human emotions, process them in a timely manner and react properly and appropriately. AI is also instrumental in providing such emotion - oriented human machine communication. AEI is mainly found in Anthropomorphic robots, text, voice chatbots, and video bots that actively demonstrate their knowledge and skills combined with emotions through the framework of Artificial Intelligence.

 An important stand of research in the field of Artificial Emotional Intelligence is how robots can respond to emotions of human beings. AEI enables robots to incorporate emotions into their interfaces through a variety of modalities like textual content, speech, video and facial expressions and react to them compatibly. A number of recent studies are conducted to make human interactions with computers and robots in a more natural and engaging way.  This paper analyses Tobias S. Buckell’s short story “Scar Tissue” from the perspective of AEI. It also highlights the life in robots and aids in understanding the appropriate emotions of robots instilled through Artificial Emotional Intelligence.
