Authors:-Sindhu.K
Abstract-:The integration of emotion recognition capabilities into robots has opened new possibilities for enhancing social interactions in various fields, including elderly and companion care. Emotionally intelligent robots (EIRs) are designed to recognize and respond to human emotions, creating a more empathetic and supportive interaction. These robots, empowered by advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, can offer personalized support, alleviate feelings of loneliness, and assist with daily tasks for individuals who may experience emotional or physical challenges. This paper explores the development of emotionally intelligent robots, their applications in elderly care, the ethical considerations surrounding their use, and the potential societal impacts of their adoption. Through case studies and examples, it highlights how these robots can be used to enhance the quality of life for the elderly, particularly in terms of social interaction and emotional well-being.
