HugBot performs facial emotion recognition to help humans feel better. If it detects that the human is feeling sad or angry, HugBot mirrors their expression and hugs the human until they begins to feel happier. And as soon as the human's emotion switches to a happy expression, HugBot rejoices with the human and spins its propellor hat in excitement!!! HugBot also performs facial tracking to maintain eye-contact with the human, and blinks its eyes from time to time to create a more natural and engaging interaction.
