Abstract: Attachment bonds and positive affect help cognitive development and social interactions in infants and animals.In this paper we present a neural architecture to enable a robot to develop an attachment bond with a person or an object, and to discover the correct sensorimotor associations to maintain a desired affective state of well-being using a minimum amount of prior knowledge about the possible interactions with this object.We also discuss how our research on attachment bonds could further developmental robotics in the near future.
