A Proposal Model to Design an Emotional Assistance Robot to First Assistance at Health Area
摘要
This paper presents the development of an emotionally intelligent robot system that integrates a language model (LLM) with computer vision–based emotion recognition to support basic healthcare interactions. The main objective was to design an empathetic conversational assistant capable of interpreting the user’s emotional state and generating contextually appropriate verbal responses. The proposed system combines three main components: (1) a language-based voice assistant, (2) an emotion recognition module implemented with pretrained Python models, and (3) a multimodal interface running on a Raspberry Pi equipped with camera, microphone, and speakers. The implementation employs containerized environments and lightweight frameworks to ensure modularity, scalability, and local data processing. The integration of both components demonstrates the technical feasibility of creating low-cost, locally operated robots with emotional awareness. This work contributes to the field of affective computing by providing an accessible and adaptable framework for developing emotion-aware healthcare assistants.
