 Robots
that can experience emotions may be a long way off, but
perhaps robots that are sensitive to our emotions is
more tangible, say Vanderbilt researchers Nilanjan Sarkar and
Craig Smith in this article. Their project has two parts.
First, to accurately detect one's psychological state by
analyzing the output of a variety of physiological sensors.
Second, to process that information real-time and convert it
to a form that a computer or robot can process. Past research
has shown that different people express the same emotion
differently. So the Vanderbilt researchers are taking an
individual approach--collecting baseline information for
individuals and analyzing it to identify the responses
associated with different mental states.
