Decision-making is crucial for an autonomous system. Some work proved that emotions have a link with human decision-making such as Bechara’s work presented in [1] or also Lerner’s work presented in [2]. The goal is to build an adaptative system mirroring the emotional human behavior as suggested and developed by Cardon [3] to make decisions in an unstable environment with a multiagent system. The project PALOMA is developed to simulate and build an autonomous system. It provides for the construction of an environment for a particular problematic with coherence, naturalness and reality. This tool is described by Camus and El Kadhi in [4]. As a part of the global PALOMA project, this paper details the development of the decision-making level (DML) based on the brain construction for a Sony Aibo. In this DML, We rely on a particular approach based on the mirroring of the human nervous system as described by the neuroscience research community [5]. The goal of this project is to build a system allowing an intentional
