This chapter discusses the observation that human emotions sometimes have unfortunate effects, which raises the concern that robot emotions might not always be optimal. It analyzes brain mechanisms for vision and language to ground an evolutionary account relating motivational systems to emotions and the cortical systems which elaborate them. It also attempts to determine how to address the issue of characterizing emotions in such a way that a robot can be considered to have emotions, even though they are not emphatically linked to human emotions.
