A study from the University of Cambridge reveals how AI-powered humanoid robots like QTrobot can meaningfully reduce stress and loneliness among young adults. Over five sessions, students shared personal experiences with the robot, resulting in measurable improvements in emotional well-being. The research highlights how emotionally aware robots can provide empathy, reflection, and connection—offering quiet support in moments of isolation. As mental health challenges rise, these machines may become trusted companions that listen, not replace.
