Abstract: Developing computational methods for bodily expressed emotion understanding can benefit from knowledge and approaches of multiple fields, including computer vision, robotics, psychology/psychiatry, graphics, data mining, machine learning, and movement analysis. The panel, consisting of active researchers in some closely-related fields, attempts to open a discussion on the future of this new and exciting research area. This paper documents the opinions expressed by the individual panelists.
