Ex-Amp Robot: Expressive Robotic Avatar With Multimodal Emotion Detection To Enhance Communication Of Users With Motor Disabilities

In current society, there are numerous robots made for various purposes, including manufacturing, cleaning, therapy, and customer service. Other robots are used for enhancing H2H communication. In this research, we proposed a robotic system which detects the user's emotions and enacts them on a humanoid robot. By using this robotic avatar, users with motor disabilities are able to extend their methods of communication, as a physical form of expression will be added to the conversation.
