Abstract: The present invention relates a multimodal emotion recognition system with edge AI accelerator. The system employs a Fuzzy Long-Short Recurrent Convolutional Network (Fuzzy LRCN) for multiple emotion classifications. The algorithm strategically utilizes only eight channels of electroencephalogram (EEG) signals and combines electrocardiogram (ECG) and photoplethysmogram (PPG) through a fuzzification engine to improve emotion recognition accuracy with minimal hardware resource consumption. The goal is to optimize hardware resource utilization, reduce system power consumption, and maximize emotion recognition accuracy. The fuzzy algorithm provides a lightweight multimodal AI model to address the issue of increased computational load caused by recognizing emotions from multiple signals.
