Robots of the future will now understand human emotions also, what will be its specialty?

Obnews Tech Desk: Work is ongoing to further advance robotics around the world. A major progress has been made in this direction. In the future, robots will be able to recognize human emotions just by touching them.

New research claims

This claim has been made in a recent research published in the journal IEEE Access. Researchers have found in their study that human emotions can be understood with the help of skin conductance.

What is skin conductance?

Skin conductance is a technique to detect the changing properties of human skin. This process is based on sweating, nervous system activity, and skin sensitivity. When a person goes through an emotion, its effect is visible on his skin, which this technology can detect.

This technique is better than traditional methods

Traditional emotion detection techniques use facial recognition and speech analysis. In these, emphasis is given to audio and visual data. However, scientists believe that skin conductance is a more effective and real-time method of detecting emotions.

Study and future prospects

During the research, 33 participants were studied. By touching their skin with skin conductance technology, their feelings were understood. Scientists believe that in the future this technology will be used with robotics systems. Through this, robots will be able to understand human emotions and respond accordingly just by touching.
