"There has been a lot of research on detecting human emotions. French robot maker Blue Frog Robotics has created an "emotional" robot called Buddy, due to be released in 2019 to provide companionship and social interaction. According to creator Jean-Michel Mourier, Buddy has a "complex brain" that can read human emotions and experience them itself, asking for hugs or reacting to input. The company is also working on the creation of robots with artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities, which could help people who are unable to communicate through traditional means.
