To improve driving safety, NEC, a major Japanese electronics manufacturer, is developing a wrist-based device that captures signals that allow drivers to recognize emotions.
As reported by Ukrinform, this was reported by NHK.
In particular, the device can recognize excitement, nervousness and severe fatigue.
The company had already tested the device on taxi drivers this year.
NEC says it wants to analyze this data to monitor changes in the physical and emotional state of the driver behind the wheel, and use the information to help transport and logistics companies improve traffic safety.
The company hopes to begin practical use of this technology by 2025.
Meanwhile, motorcycle manufacturer Yamaha Motor has announced that it has made progress in developing emotion recognition technology using artificial intelligence. The belt-shaped device captures electrical signals entering the heart, and artificial intelligence analyzes this data to predict changes in mood.
As reported by Ukrinform, Japanese researchers from telecommunications giant NTT Docomo, Keio University and Nagoya Institute of Technology have developed a new technology that allows users to share the sense of touch with their hands.
