Abstract
Mental health has become a severe problem that significantly influences people’s living quality. With the rapid development of science and technology, a completely new direction for mental health improving by using the interaction between robots and people has emerged. As an intelligent personal agent, a robot can be easily accepted in people’s daily life, meeting users’ behavior and mental demands to a certain extent. Nevertheless, the existing robot design is very limited, and a household personal robot is too large to be carried anywhere . The usage of wearable devices is simple, but these devices cannot offer diversified services. Therefore, this paper puts forward an emotion-aware system that integrates a personal robot, smart clothing, and cloud terminal. A new ’people-centered’ emotion-interaction mode is realized. Namely, personal robot and smart clothing supplement each other seamlessly and interact jointly with users . Artificial intelligence technology and knowledge graph are used to design emotion perception and interaction algorithms including intelligent recommendation, relation recognition, emotional expression recognition. Also, different scenarios are analyzed . Finally, a testbed is built to carry out relevant tests to verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms and emotion-aware system. According to the obtained test results, the system can be widely used to serve people and improve people’s mental health.
