Studies on developing a humanoid facial expressive robot

Traditionally, robotics has concentrated on creating tools that can operate and communicate with objects. In the past 20 years, realistic humanoid robots have become more common, but their emotional intelligence has remained constrained. It results in poor robot–human communication. The use of machine learning techniques by researchers to educate humanoids on how to empathize with humans has grown. The availability and affordability of facially expressive humanoid robots discourages more academics from working in this field, even if the majority of the software required to develop machine learning algorithms is open source. Facial expressions are the fundamental units of nonverbal communication between people and robots. This aims to help aspiring artificial intelligence researchers by providing a cheaply priced robot that can serve as a platform for research into emotional communication between humans and machines. The robot in question has an artificial intelligence voice recognition and response system that can imitate human facial emotions and head movements. It is an adult-sized humanoid head.
