Current solutions often depend on external wearables, which impose usability barriers and limit the robot's autonomy. This paper investigates the integration of an embedded photoplethysmography (PPG) sensor directly into a pocket-sized companion robot, AffectaPocket, to enable self-contained heart rate monitoring during tactile interaction. We address the significant challenge of motion artifacts inherent in handheld usage by implementing a two-stage filtering pipeline that utilizes an onboard Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) to reject high-variance segments and a confidence-based smoothing algorithm for recovery periods. We evaluated the system against a commonly used wrist worn sensor in a Within-Subjects Study with 26 participants. Our results demonstrate that the filtering strategy significantly reduced the Mean Absolute Percentage Error and achieved statistical equivalence to the ground truth measurements (p new | recent | 2026-08 Change to browse by: cs References & Citations NASA ADS Google Scholar Semantic Scholar Loading...
