Adaptive Emotion Recognition and Affective Feedback Mechanisms for Elderly-Focused Companion Robots

With the continuous development of artificial intelligence technology and robotics, as well as the increasingly serious issue of aging, more and more people are beginning to apply intelligent robot technology to solve the problems of elderly care. This study analyzed the current available technologies and designed an intelligent companion robot system for the elderly. This system achieves precise emotion perception through multimodal emotion recognition technology (facial expressions, speech semantics), and dynamically generates personalized emotional feedback strategies by integrating an adaptive interaction mechanism, effectively alleviating the loneliness of the elderly and enhancing their autonomy in life. Future research will explore an active companionship model driven by generative artificial intelligence, achieving more natural empathetic interaction through large-scale emotion models, and constructing a new type of intelligent elderly care model that combines "technology and humanity".
