Abstract: This study deals with an emotion-based task sharing approach and its application for a cooperative multiagent robotic system. A stochastic emotion model based on Markov theory is adapted to perform their tasks in a well organized way to achieve goal. The emotional model consists of four basic emotions: joy, anger, fear and sad. Different emotional behavior is obtained by updating the state transition matrix of stochastic model. Perception of stimuli has an impact on emotion inducing factors and thus, affects on emotion dynamics. The task assignment and then task sharing approach depends on the emotional state of each agent. With the developed emotional approach, a Matlab based simulation is performed to analyze the behavior of the agent with the emotional capability.
