In today’s world, where people find it very difficult to find a person who understands them and knows how they feel, scientists are developing robots that will gauge your emotions just by touching your skin. Yes! You read that right. According to a recent study published in the journal IEEE Access, researchers used Skin Conductance to determine how a person was feeling. It is a measure of how well the skin conducts electricity, which often changes in response to sweat flow and nerve activity, indicating various human emotional states.
As per the scientists, Skin Conductance could overcome the errors of the traditional emotion-detection techniques such as facial recognition or speech analysis, which often fall due to poor audio or visual conditions.
“Skin conductance provides a potential workaround, providing a non-invasive way to capture emotion in real-time,” said the researchers.
