The system successfully conveyed a variety of chicken emotions, including hunger, fear, anger, satisfaction, excitement, and boredom.
In collaboration with psychologists and veterinarians, the researchers tested the system on 80 chickens, resulting in high accuracy in determining their emotional state.

Cheok emphasized that knowing animals’ emotions could help create a “better world” for them.
