This research focuses on the recognition and expression of emotions by robots, aiming to increase their presence in schools, factories, and homes. The study specifically attempted to replicate gestures associated with specific emotions on a social robot, NAO, focusing on Ekman’s six primary emotions and five emotions from Plutchik’s wheel of emotions. The researchers also considered the cultural influences on the gestural expression of emotions. The field of study dedicated to understanding body language, kinesics, provided insights into the meanings behind facial expressions, gaze, poses, and gestures.
