An affect-based method of communication between robots is provided by displaying a visual facial expression (52) indicative of a simulated emotional state on a display device of a first robot, and viewing the visual facial expression using a camera on a second robot (54). The simulated emotional state may be one of happiness, anger, or sadness, for example. The second robot determines the simulated emotional state to redefine its own simulated emotional state (56), and to display a visual facial expression indicative thereof. The visual facial expression allows a human observer to discern the simulated emotional state of the robot. Optionally, the robots further communicate affect using audio tones (53).
