Mobile humanoid agent with mood awareness for elderly care

Human, especially elderly, require frequent attention, continuous companionship, and deep understanding from the others. To provide more specific and appropriate tender care to the elderly, knowing their affective states is a great advantage. Recent work on human emotion recognition shows promising...

description Human, especially elderly, require frequent attention, continuous companionship, and deep understanding from the others.
