With its robot, Emobot wants to detect signs of depression in isolated people
Present at CES, the company has developed an artificial intelligence capable of analyzing a person’s emotions. The objective is to fight against mental health disorders by detecting them as early as possible.
It took more than 15 years of research to develop this artificial intelligence. It is thus possible to follow the emotional state of a person continuously in order to detect a possible deterioration or, for example, warning signs of depression.
In total, Emobot’s little robot can analyze seven million emotional data per year. Thanks to his camera, he takes into account the expressions of the face, the dynamism of the movements.

Buttons to communicate with your animals
The company FluentPet has imagined a system of buttons to communicate with its animals.
“Thank you”, “happy birthday”, “ball”, the dog must press with his paw on one of the buttons to communicate with his master. The words are customizable from an application.
The head of the company even advises to start with words that the dog recognizes in everyday situations.
A good year for French Tech?
The new French Tech companies are very Business to Business oriented and the CleanTech part is very important, according to the observation made by Nicolas Dufourcq, CEO of BpiFrance.
“The new generations of entrepreneurs are very invested in the issue of climate change,” he continues.
The objective for French and European companies is to face “the American steamroller”, while the tech world is in crisis. However, French Tech raised a record in 2022, to the tune of 14 billion euros.
Sometimes improbable innovations
The CES is also synonymous with gadgets at exorbitant prices. Like this light, transportable and modular Display TV. No need for a remote control, everything goes through gestures, for the modest sum of 3000 euros.
Another gadget, Prinker’s temporary tattoo printer. Or L’Oréal and its eyebrow printer.
But also a mask to make calls without disturbing colleagues, not very aesthetic but practical, invented by a Toulouse company.
