Robots that can read emotions
Researchers at Case Western have developed robots that can identify emotions by analyzing facial expressions in real time with a 98% accuracy rate. Previous generations of such bots could only get an emotional read on people after a noticeable delay. The researchers trained the robots to identify the emotions conveyed in 3,500 variations of human facial expressions. Such robots could help detect symptoms of depression or help those with autism to recognize others’ emotions.
Solving Problems
Very interesting article, reading emotions can be hard to do even for humans. Might be cool applications here for certain people who have difficultly reading emotions (maybe through an AR application).?
