With the introduction of EPU, AI will now be able to respond to the question about how it feels or thinks about an idea or concept, without any pre-scripted reply. Emoshape has demonstrated this recently via a video involving the characters Adolf Hitler and Barack Obama.

EPU is an extension of the Ekman’s theory that utilizes twelve primary emotions identified in the psycho-evolutionary theory. Patrick Levy-Rosenthal, the founder of Emoshape and the inventor of the EPU, foresees a significant commercial application for EPUs in the near future in combination with Natural Language Generation (NLG) and WaveNet, a deep generative model of raw audio waveforms.
“WaveNet allows machines to express emotions in their voice. Whereas, EPU makes a machine capable of understanding what they read or see emotionally. Functioning together, they help us imagine a Kindle that can read aloud and make us feel that the Kindle understands what it reads aloud, as the voice will be full of different emotional states,” said Levy-Rosenthal.
About Emotion Synthesis
The advent of EPU will also allow robots to watch a movie and experience all human-like feelings and emotions. Emoshape will make it possible for AI and robots to laugh or cry without the help of a scripted program designed to display certain emotions, but by allowing them to feel the emotions through EPU.

Some of the key functional aspects of EPU include
- Delivers high-performance machine emotion awareness
- Creates emotional states and synthetic emotion in intelligent machines.
- Allows the AI or robot to experience 64 trillion distinct emotional states
- Communicates data to other AI technologies to achieve a realistic range of expressions and interactions with complete understanding of language and appraisal.
- Up to 98 percent accuracy on conversation
