Atmosphere Estimation of Users in Smart Symbiotic Living with Family-type Robot LOVOT

Abstract

Atmosphere estimation system for family-type robot in living space is proposed to realize smart symbiotic space, where a three-dimensional atmosphere (atomosfield) is calculated based on multiple human emotions recognized from webcam video. The system is implemented with OpenCV and Dlib for face and emotion recognition, and tested for webcam arrangement. As a result of the experiment for thee human and two LOVOTs interaction in the living space, the proposed system has shown the highest detection of times of 380 at the level of 0.45[m] from the floor and the front (0 deg) of the users in face recognition. The proposed atmosphere estimation realizes casual and delicate support service for people in smart living environment.
