A mechatronic engineering student from Australia's Curtin University had developed an intelligent system capable of reading people's emotions in real-time. This project offers potential benefits for national security as well as health authorities. According to a recent press release, three artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms were used to create the system. The algorithms are capable of assessing emotional reactions via the monitoring of real-time video footage. Final-year student, Mr. Jordan Vice, was invited to present his work to the First IEEE International Conference on Cognitive Machine Intelligence held in Los Angeles recently.
