It is a technology that should take care of isolated people. With his robot, Emobot offers to take care of your mental health and well-being. The company’s solution can be implemented at home or in a healthcare facility.
Seven million data analyzed per year
It took more than 15 years of research to develop this artificial intelligence. To achieve this, Emobot has a partnership with the French laboratory Aimac, an expert in the analysis and synthesis of emotions. Thus, it is possible to follow a person’s emotional state continuously to detect possible deterioration or, for example, warning signs of depression.
In total, the little Emobot robot can analyze seven million emotional data a year. Thanks to his camera, he takes into account the expressions of the face, the dynamism of the movements. The robot also uses the voice to collect all the information in the form of an emotional map.
Become a diagnostic aid tool
As soon as the robot detects a decreasing trend, an alert is sent. In this way, a video conference call can be established, in particular on a person’s television.
Emobot now wants to go further in the analysis of emotions. The idea would be to detect neurodegenerative disorders and position itself as a diagnostic aid tool. It is with this objective that the Station F-based start-up joined iPEPS, the Brain Institute’s incubator. Within two to three years, the company hopes to obtain medical device status.
