Designing robots for home entertainment has become an important application of intelligent autonomous robot. Yet, robot design takes considerable amount of time and the short life cycle of toy-type robots with fixed prototypes and repetitive behaviors is in fact disadvantageous. Therefore, it is important to develop a framework of robot configuration so that the user can always change the characteristics of his pet robot easily. In this paper, we present a user-oriented interactive framework to construct emotion-based pet robots. Experimental results show the efficiency of the proposed framework.
