Abstract:

Social robots with empathic interaction is a crucial requirement towards deliverance of an effective cognitive stimulation among individuals with Intellectual Disability (ID) and has been challenged by absence of any particular database. Project REHABIBOTICS presents a first ever multimodal database of individuals with ID, recorded in a nearly real world settings for analysis of human affective states. MuDERI is an annotated multimodal database of audiovisual recordings, RGBD videos and physiological signals of 12 participants in actual settings, which were recorded as participants were elicited using personalized real world objects and/or activities.
