title = "An affective mood booster robot based on emotional processing unit",
abstract = "We propose a novel robotics system with affective interaction capability. Our proposed robot would act as a personal companion with focusing on the mood of the user. The robot has the ability to detect basic emotions of the user through visual and audio sensors. The emotional processing unit employs advances in the field of affective computing and artificial intelligence in order to estimate the emotional state of the user. Additionally, the artificial intelligence unit aims to propose certain behaviors of the robot in order to generate positive emotional interaction towards the user. Such expressions would be projected by various behaviors of the robot such as audio output that appropriate music would be played. Additionally, the robot would generate relevant smell accordingly by digital scent technology. The robot would be in the form of mobile that it can also act by appropriate physical movements. For example when the robot estimates the stressed emotion by the user, it would play relaxing music and produce relaxing scent and the robot would navigate smoothly around without disturbing the user.",
