Researchers have tried to embed synthetic emotions into robot much like their biological counterparts. While many have shown the effect of emotion on decision-making for the robot, the scenarios that portray when to use emotions for robots are rare. In this paper, we evaluate the performance of a robot by empowering it with a decision-making capability which uses synthetic emotions. Since from the robot’s perspective the environment is stochastic, it needs to make the right decision for survival. A
Comfort
level is defined as a metric which determines the quality of life of the robot. The robot possesses various
needs
and
urges
all of which influence its decisions. The main objective was to make the robot perform high profile tasks rather than menial ones so as to increase its utility. Results obtained from experiments conducted using a real situated robot with and without emotion indicate that emotion aids more significantly when the environment has abundant resources.
