Behavior of a device is modified based on the device's experience. The device comprises: (i) a sensing unit for sensing signals; (ii) an interest-generating unit programmed to generate interest-parameters in response to the sensed signals; (iii) an emotion-generating unit programmed to generate emotion-parameters in response to the sensed signals; and (iv) an actuating unit for actuating the device. The device collects information based on its interest and modifies its behavior when the device observes the same object as previously, based on variations of emotions generated when the device observed the object in the past. <IMAGE>
