From taxonomy to building blocks of expression
Earlier research: build taxonomy of affective expressions
– Identify stereotypical expressions or full blown expressions
• How is happiness expressed? How is anger expressed?
• How does a fake from a real smile looks like
– Provide direct design directions
• E.g., expressive robots/avatar
– Capture only the tips of the affective iceberg
• Automatic expression recognition fail in real life application
• Robots and avatars become very repetitive

Facial Action Coding System (FACs)
System to build a taxonomy of facial movement
32 AUs (& more): contraction or relaxation of one or more muscles.
Examples:
Insincere and voluntary smile: contraction of zygomatic major alone
Hager, J.C., Ekman, P., Friesen, W.V. (2002). Facial action coding system.
Limitations
• FACs Emotions
– It does not capture the variability of everyday
expressions
– Constructivist approach: facial expressions are affect by
context, evaluation of the context, etc.
• Emotional expressions do exist but they are not so predefined.
• Field: moving away from standardization but embracing
variability
– AUs used as the building blocks of facial expressions

Touch sensors
• Pressure sensors on object or agent to be
touched
• EMG+IMU: measure arm’s muscle activity
and movement driving the touch behaviour
• Could be used to measure affective

MyoEMG
How does it feel?
Z-Speed_max
Cold Warm
What Property?
EMG-8-Std
EMG-6-Mean
Rough Smooth
Sensation of bidirectional touch during Feeling the other person skin and its changes in
interaction response
Sensation of touch past interaction Own skin natural changes (eg,sweat due to hand heat)
Presence Levels of presence vs presence/absence signal Controlled of amount of and area touched
Uncontrolled reactions to touch & be touched
A person idiosyncratic touch characteristics Own skin temperature
A person tactile preferences Relative body part size (e.g. a bigger and longer hand
than the one touched)
Identity Idiosyncratic tactile patterns
The other person automatic reaction to touch (does
she likes it?)
Ways of touching
Having control over being touch Enabling blocking from being touched
Privacy & Controlling the body area that can be touched Being able to send rejection signals to being touched
sense of Being able to offer the body area to be touched Being able to send acceptance signals of being touch
Control Being able to offer body area to be touched
