Emotion-Aware Robot Arm

An interactive robot arm that responds to users’ facial expressions by opening or closing its pose based on detected emotions.

This project explores the integration of affective computing and robotics through a simple yet effective emotional response system. By leveraging real-time facial expression recognition, the robot arm interprets the user’s emotional state—happy or sad—and adjusts its pose accordingly:

• 😊 Happy → Arm opens
• 😢 Sad → Arm closes

The system showcases the potential of emotionally intelligent machines, enabling more intuitive and human-centered interaction.

Key Features

• Real-time facial emotion detection using computer vision
• Robotic control for expressive pose adaptation
• Seamless human-robot interaction loop
