Abstract
Emotional-BDI agents are BDI agents whose behaviour is guided not only by beliefs, desires and intentions, but also by the role of emotions in reasoning and decision-making. The\(\mathcal{E}_{\rm BDI}\) logic is a formal system for expressing the concepts of the Emotional-BDI model of agency. In this paper we present an improved version of the\(\mathcal{E}_{\rm BDI}\) logic and show how it can be used to model the role of three emotions in Emotional-BDI agents:fear,anxiety andself-confidence. We also focus in the computational properties of\(\mathcal{E}_{\rm BDI}\) which can lead to its use in automated proof systems.
