For the past few decades, the population of old people has been rapidly increasing, due to the advancement of healthcare education. This rapid increase means that a lot more caretakers are necessary to help get those people through the day. Not only physically, but also mentally. Depression and loneliness are right around the corner for a lot of old people if there is not enough interaction with caretakers or family members. One study showed that there is a significant relationship between depression and loneliness of the elderly. Meaning that if there is not enough social interaction, they will have a high chance of developing a severe depression further growing the feeling of loneliness.[1] It it therefore vital that there are enough caretakers to prevent this. Unfortunately, the shortage of caretakers is growing. To combat this the usage of care take robots is being developed quite extensively. These robots can not yet replace the physical help a real person can give, but can help with the mental one. Giving the elderly someone to talk to.

Problem statement and objectives(m) For the past few decades, the population of old people has been rapidly increasing, due to the advancement of healthcare education. This rapid increase means that a lot more caretakers are necessary to help get those people through the day. Not only physically, but also mentally. Depression and loneliness are right around the corner for a lot of old people if there is not enough interaction with caretakers or family members. One study showed that there is a significant relationship between depression and loneliness of the elderly. Meaning that if there is not enough social interaction, they will have a high chance of developing a severe depression further growing the feeling of loneliness.[1] It is therefore vital that there are enough caretakers to prevent this. Unfortunately, the shortage of caretakers is growing. To combat this the usage of care take robots is being developed quite extensively. These robots can not yet replace the full physical help a real person can give but can give some mental help by giving the elderly someone to talk to. This social interaction can include having a simple conversation with the person or routing a call to family members. In order to have a more complicated conversation, the robot requires to understand more about the state of the person. While increasing the intelligence of the robot would solve this issue, this proves to be very difficult. Therefore, only small steps in increasing the robots knowledge can be made.

The proposal for this project is to use emotion detection in real time to know how the person is feeling so that it can use this information to further help the person.
