A Robot that Perceives Human Emotions and Implications in human-robot interaction

Abstract

In human - robot interaction many different signals are used by robots in order to get a proper environment representation. Even more so, the social robots, whose primary task is to maintain successful interaction with humans, should use input signals in order to model the human itself. One important human characteristic is the human emotional state. As a result, perceiving human emotions is one challenging task for social robots. This paper is a summary of the construction of an example robot that can perceive human emotion evaluation based on some new implementation ideas. Here, the building process is described along with the challenges and the results from the research. Experimental results are used to support the conclusion. The importance of robots that perceive emotion evaluation in human-robot interaction in general is stated as well.
