Pepper and tracking Kids

I have a case where I am trying to create some experiences with Pepper and with kids. Although Pepper is able to detect Adults using the face tracking, it is having a difficult time tracking kids ( of age 5-10 years, for example ). Is there anything I can do to make Pepper track faces based on certain demographics criteria ( Like, try to track kids who are less than age of 10 to build certain experiences ). I have gone through the documentation here ( http://doc.aldebaran.com/2-4/naoqi/peopleperception/alfacedetection.html#alfacedetection ) but have not found any information for my specific use case. Any help is much appreciated.

Anyway tracking specifically kids instead of adults would require specific code you'll have to program, not too hard, but will require some days or coding&testing. If I were you, I'll proceed like that, humbly:

  • deactivate autonomous life
  • move the head randomly around lower position
  • when found a face, look at the age estimation (see ALFaceCharacteristics in documentation)
    • if it's the good range, lock it and track it (with your own tracker OR dig into the ALTracker documentation to find if you can specify the user to track).
    • If not, search again...
