Are robots better than HR at 'reading' emotions?

But the biggest difference in the age of AI is how analytics tools will see beyond what is visible to the naked eye. Take the EQ-Radio, for instance. In 2016, MIT researchers broke new ground in the field of emotionally intelligent machines. They unveiled a device that purportedly measures a person's heartrate and breathing to determine their emotional state – all without physical contact. The EQ-Radio bounces signals off a person's body and decodes their vital signs through algorithms.
