Hey, Justin or anyone.
I just got an idea. How hard would it be to simply allow your Facial Software to Detect emotions. We have software to demonstrate emotions and can make the robot have emotions. But, can we interface emotion seeking software into the EZB program? If a robot could sense posture, body language and even a simple smile or frown, it could be much more accepted into a household. People are about Feelings. I just realized that when I saw the Pepper Robot demonstration. I would like to hear if this would be a possibility for you in the future. I would like for my sunshine to make eye contact and KNOW if I am happy or sad.
Please, give me your Thoughts on these matters.

i think nao does this whit pictures off your face.
Yes, Nao and Pepper will do it. I am looking to do it with an EZB robot. I wish to purchase a Pepper when it comes out in the states,but I have to literally sell everything I own in order to get it. We will see what happens.
He reminds me of my puppy. If he had a robot "accident" on the floor I'd have to frown. eek
moviemaker the use off nao/pepper program cost 250 euro a year. if you have any broken parts,or maintenance cost some 700 euro exc chipping.
this video shows ARC sees pictures.

Reading emotions from facial expressions is tricky. Unless you exaggerate the face your making even other humans have problems understanding what you feel. I can see smile recognition being a fun feature but the others would seem impractical.
The " picture matching" idea isnt bad but it would need to be trained for every person.
nomad, thanks for the idea RENT or LEASE.
The camera would need to be high resolution to detect changes as discrete as smiling or frowning, lighting would also need to be very good to detect these changes.
Even then, it doesn't work too well on my camera or on my phone, both of which have smile detection and blink detection.
hmmm.
