Résumé

Abstract

In this thesis, I explore the integration of pain, its perception, its features, and its sensory process into robotic models, focusing on its influence on motivation-based action selection architecture. Drawing inspiration from clinician psychology, neurobiology, and computation neuroscience, I aim to provide a framework with different perspectives to study how bio-inspired pain mechanisms can affect decision-making systems.
