A robot that can detect faces and emotions!
Went to a breakfast meeting today called “Likemind” in Brighton and met some interesting people. Ian Oszvald a self confessed Entrepreneurial Geek popped this little gismo out of his bag, brilliant! It is called the Headroid1 and is a face-tracking robot that can follow people’s faces, it is being developed to detect emotions and react to engage with people, I believe Ian is working on the “Smile Detector”. He says that programming is getting easier and is using a programming language called Python. Python is a programming language that lets you work more quickly and integrate your systems more effectively. It’s supposed to be easy to read, quick to write, runs on all popular platforms and is open source (which means it’s free) “Anyone can make stuff like this now.” he says (yeah right I’ll just knock one up – give me a minute!).
As you can see from his demo the camera is tracking me as I move shifting and tilting so that my face is always in centre of the screen.
It’s a collaborative project by BuildBrighton . Ian developed the AI for the device. If you want to learn more about the programming and code side of things you can read up about it on his blog.
