Empathetic Robots

Empathetic robots are artificial systems designed to recognize, interpret, and respond to human emotions in a way that feels understanding and supportive. They use sensors, facial recognition, voice analysis, and machine learning to gauge feelings and adjust their behavior accordingly. These robots aim to create more natural, meaningful interactions, especially in healthcare, customer service, or caregiving contexts, helping humans feel heard and comforted. While they do not truly experience emotions, they are programmed to simulate empathy effectively, enhancing connection and engagement between humans and machines.
