An empathizing robot, development of #x2018;human-like emotions and augmented dynamics#x2019; (H.E.A.D) and it's Emotion Cloud

摘要

This paper discusses the planning and development of a robotic head which empathizes with the user and reflects their emotions with concerted response. It is structured using keywords and expressions heuristics (C.H.E.E and Mood) which embrace a non-predictable and a layered and weighted approach to emotions: ‘Emotion Cloud’, which encompasses various inputs from the user. The paper details the design of the hardware and the software for H.E.A.D.
