How we can help your industry

Toys and entertainment robots

Our real-life pets react to our moods and affect how we are feeling. Emotion recognition enables artificial pets to understand our emotions and to react to them in a way similar to their real-life counterparts. Making our entertainment robots more pet-like can only help to bring them into our homes.

Many interactive toys are now voice-enabled with pre-recorded speech samples, TTS and speech recognition capabilities aimed at enhancing their believability. However we should not underestimate the role of imagination in play. Emotion recognition can engage the child imaginatively by allowing the toy to respond to the feelings of the child. In this way voice-enabled toys can become less repetitive in their speech interaction and more dynamically involved in the games children play.
