robots:emotions

Robots in this Aeon don't have emotions, but they have levels which correlate to emotional states. Four axiis are tracked and encoded into color values to display from the droid.

• battery (or life level): Yellow axis: more=> high battery
• task conflict "stress": Red axis => stressed
• confidence or certainty level: Green axis => confident
• Idle state: Blue axis => high availability

Simulation of human emotions is not displayed (sadness, for example) but emoted through audio channel.

Separately, there may be a light grid, corresponding to memory banks used or active (the squares in r2d2 head).

A plaintive tone is used and a safety retreat to a dark corner where they won't have to defend themselves for when their power supply get below some threshold based on past activity. People can then offer services to the droid to get it back in service to humanity.
