CP-Robot: Cloud-Assisted Pillow Robot for Emotion Sensing and Interaction

With the development of the technology such as the Internet of Things, 5G and the Cloud, people pay more attention to their spiritual life, especially emotion sensing and interaction; however, it is still a great challenge to realize the far-end awareness and interaction between people, for the existing far-end interactive system mainly focuses on the voice and video communication, which can hardly meet people’s emotional needs. In this paper, we have designed cloud-assisted pillow robot (CP-Robot) for emotion sensing and interaction. First, we use the signals collected from the Smart Clothing, CP-Robot and smart phones to judge the users’ moods; then we realize the emotional interaction and comfort between users through the CP-Robot; and finally, we give a specific example about a mother who is on a business trip comforting her son at home through the CP-Robot to prove the feasibility and effectiveness of the system.
