“Scientists from Queen Mary, Hertfordshire and Heriot-Watt universities are part of the EU-funded LIREC project to develop software that enables robots to respond to human emotions and change their behaviour accordingly.
They hope that by understanding how humans recognise emotions, they will be able to create mathematical models that robots can use to read social situations. This could then allow robots to be used more commonly in homes, schools and offices.” via the engineer
