  Emotional expressions and their changes during an interaction affect heavily
how we perceive and behave towards other persons. To design an HRI scenario
that makes possible to observe, understand, and model affective interactions
and generate the appropriate responses or initiations of a robot is a very
challenging task. In this paper, we report our efforts in designing such a
scenario, and to propose a modeling strategy of affective interaction by
artificial intelligence deployed in autonomous robots. Overall, we present a
novel HRI game scenario that was designed to comply with the specific
requirements that will allow us to develop the next wave of affective-aware
social robots that provide adequate emotional responses.
