It consists of cameras and electronic sensors can<br />

provide information on a person’s state of mind.<br />

In this method, a database is provided which<br />

includes statistics of human voice parameters<br />

with emotions. When a voice signal is received<br />

from it we can extracts at least one feature of<br />

the signal. The extracted voice feature is then<br />

compared to the voice parameter in the<br />

database.<br />

An emotion is selected from the data base and it<br />

is compared with the extracted voice signal.<br />

Then the user determined emotions are<br />

compared with emotion selected from the<br />

database and it determines if it matches then it<br />

output that selected emotion.<br />

This technology was implemented by Microsoft,<br />

they designed mood t-shirt, which is used to<br />

express your mood on a t-shirt, it has flexible<br />

jacket packed with sensors and actuators it is<br />

intended to read a users emotions then simulate<br />

their nervous system in a way that can either<br />

cheer them up or calm them down .<br />

Hybrid Driving- Flying Robots could go<br />

beyond the flying car<br />

Whether they&#39;re swooping in to deliver<br />

packages or spotting victims in disaster zones,<br />

swarms of flying robots could have a range of<br />

important applications in the future, a new study<br />

found. The robots can transition from driving to<br />

flying without colliding with each other and could<br />

offer benefits beyond the traditional flying-car<br />

concepts of sci-fi lore, the study said.<br />

The ability to both fly and walk is common in<br />

nature. For instance, many birds, insects and other<br />

animals can do both.<br />

These robots can both fly and drive through a<br />

simulated city-like setting that has parking spots,<br />

landing pads and no-fly zones. Moreover, these<br />

drones can move autonomously without colliding<br />

with each other, the researchers said, “Our vehicles<br />

can find their own safe paths” .The researchers took<br />

eight four-rotor quadcopter; drones and put two<br />

small motors with wheels on the bottom of each<br />

drone, to make them capable of driving. In<br />

simulations, the robots could fly for about 295 feet<br />

(90 meters) or drive for 826 feet (252 meters) before<br />

their batteries ran out.<br />

Nothing can add more power to your life than concentrating all your energies on a limited set of<br />

targets." Nido Qubein<br />
