Many children in orphanages suffer from neglect or mistreatment, with their emotional distress often going unnoticed. Limited caregiver attention and, in some cases, abuse can severely impact their psychological well-being. Emoçç is an AI-powered robotic companion designed to monitor children's emotions, detect signs of distress, and provide real-time emotional support. Using facial recognition, voice analysis, and behavioral tracking, it identifies mood patterns and interacts through conversation, storytelling, and play. If it detects potential mistreatment - such as fear or anxiety in response to specific individuals - it logs incidents and alerts relevant authorities. Unlike traditional surveillance, Emoçç is an active participant in children's daily lives, fostering emotional stability while ensuring their safety. By combining AI-driven engagement with automated reporting, it creates a nurturing environment where children feel seen, heard, and protected.
