Emotional domotics: Inhabitable home automation system for emotion modulation through facial analysis

Abstract

This research proposed working with an influence on the subject mood, presenting an approach to state the subjects analysis when the light hue is varied. The experimental results led to the finding of the emotional response time dynamics. Such dynamics are important for future design and implementation of the control loops in-house automation systems for emotion modulation. Throughout this document, the details and progress of the research in emotional domotics, with the aim of developing a controlled algorithm for living space based on the user’s emotional state, will be illustrated and detailed. This project is centered on domotics (home automation) systems, which is, a set of elements installed, interconnected and controlled by a computer system. After introducing the investigation’s core, general preview, and the experiment’s description conducted with light hue variation, the description is followed by a presentative approach to state the subjects analysis when light hue is varied. The experimental results led to the time dynamics of emotional response findings. Such dynamics are important for future design and implementation of the control loops in house automation systems for emotion modulation.
