Abstract

This study focuses on the design of emoji packs for AI companion robots, exploring their role in promoting emotional connection and enhancing interaction experiences based on emotional design theory. By analyzing the cases of the NOMI and Moxie robots, the research reveals how to optimize the emotional expression of AI robot emojis from the instinctive, behavioral, and reflective levels, aiming to build more empathetic and user-friendly intelligent interaction systems. An emotional design framework for AI robot emoji packs is constructed. Furthermore, the study explores how AI robots can establish emotional bonds through dynamic emojis, providing insights into the integration of affective computing and intelligent interaction technologies in the future.
