This book focuses on the key technologies and scientific problems
involved in emotional robot systems, such as multimodal emotion
recognition (i.e., facial expression/speech/gesture and their multimodal
emotion recognition) and emotion intention understanding, and presents
the design and application examples of emotional HRI systems. Aiming at
the development needs of emotional robots and emotional human-robot
interaction (HRI) systems, this book introduces basic concepts, system
architecture, and system functions of affective computing and emotional
robot systems. With the professionalism of this book, it serves as a
useful reference for engineers in affective computing, and graduate
students interested in emotion recognition and intention understanding.
This book offers the latest approaches to this active research area. It
provides readers with the state-of-the-art methods of multimodal emotion
recognition, intention understanding, and application examples of
emotional HRI systems.
