Our project (GitHub) is a emotional support robot that can detect the emotions from people's faces. The robot runs on a Jetson Nano and uses an OAK-D Lite Camera for recognition and distance measurements. We use DepthAI's emotional recognition example for our detection. The robot searches for the face of a sad person, and once confirmed, drives up to the person in question to cheer them up! The therapy routine consists of both music and a dance.
