Understanding a person's feelings is a very important process for the affective computing. People express their emotions in various ways. Among them, facial expression is the most effective way to present human emotional status. We propose efficient ...
A gentle touch is an essential part of human interaction that produces a positive care effect. Previously, robotics studies have shown that robots can reproduce a gentle touch that elicits similar, positive emotional responses in humans. However, whe...
Silent communication based on biosignals from facial muscle requires accurate detection of its directional movement and thus optimally positioning minimum numbers of sensors for higher accuracy of speech recognition with a minimal person-to-person va...
Pleasant touching is an important aspect of social interactions that is widely used as a caregiving technique. To address the problems resulting from a lack of available human caregivers, previous research has attempted to develop robots that can per...

Facial action units (AUs) focus on a comprehensive set of atomic facial muscle movements for human expression understanding. Based on supervised learning, discriminative AU representation can be achieved from local patches where the AUs are located. ...
This study underscores the paramount importance of facial expressions in pigs, serving as a sophisticated mode of communication to gauge their emotions, physical well-being, and intentions. Given the inherent challenges in deciphering such expression...

INTRODUCTION: The application of artificial intelligence to facial aesthetics has been limited by the inability to discern facial zones of interest, as defined by complex facial musculature and underlying structures. Although semantic segmentation mo...
One of the biggest challenges of computers is collecting data from human behavior, such as interpreting human emotions. Traditionally, this process is carried out by computer vision or multichannel electroencephalograms. However, they comprise heavy ...
Eye contact with a human and with a humanoid robot elicits attention- and affect-related psychophysiological responses. However, these responses have mostly been studied in adults, leaving their developmental origin poorly understood. In this study, ...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Facial cues and expressions constitute a component of bodily responses that provide useful information about one's stress levels. According to the Facial Action Coding System, they can be modelled consistently in terms of fu...
