Dr. Henrik Hautop Lund is Professor at
Technical University of Denmark, is head of
the Center for Playware, and has publishedmore than 175 scientific papers and several
patents. He has served in the Danish
National Research Council. He is WorldChampion in RoboCup Humanoids
henrik.hautop.lund@gmail.com

Freestyle 2002, has developed shape-shifting modular robots, and has
collaborated closely on robotics, ALife and AI withcompanies like LEGO, Kompan, BandaiNamco, etc. for the past twodecades. His Center for Playware at the Technical University of Denmark
has a long track record of developing modular robotic playware for
playful contextualized IT training in Sub-Saharan Africa, for playful
rehabilitation for sport, for music, for wearable, for play, and for
education. These modular playware technology developments include IBlocks (LEGO bricks with processing power) and modular interactive tiles(larger bricks for physical rehab). Further, with the development of EastAfrica’s first science and business park, local entrepreneurship has been
fostered amongst students graduating from the university degree
programs in contextualized IT. Combining such skills, it became possible
to develop technical skill enhancing football games and global
connectivity based on modular playware for townships in South Africa
for the FIFA World Cup 2010. Lately, together with international pop starand World music promoter Peter Gabriel, he has developed theMusicTiles app as a music 2.0 experience to enhance music creativity
amongst everybody, even people with no initial musical skills whatsoever,
and made physical modules for Peter Gabriel’s live stage performance.
In all cases, professor Henrik Hautop Lund and his research center
develop modular playware technology in a playful way to enhancelearning and creativity amongst anybody, anywhere, anytime.

Abstract
In this talk, I will present the effect of using emotions in humans andartifacts (computer systems, virtual agents, robots, etc.) interaction. As
known as Media Equation, the relationship between humans andartifacts is similar to the social relationship between humans and humans.
For example, when a human is helped by an artifact a human want tothank artifacts and return something. Like humans, it is important for
artifacts to recognize emotions and express emotions in relation
between humans and artifacts. In this talk, I introduce a technique torecognize and express emotions in human interaction with artifacts andshow examples of how effective artifacts are when using emotions.
