Nadine, A Social Robot

Picture walking into your own room after a long day, where a companion not only knows your name but remembers you mentioned feeling overwhelmed just last week. It detects your frown, softens its tone in empathy, and leans in to listen. This is the reality of Nadine, a social robot powered by Large Language Models that has moved beyond simple task planning to become a genuine emotional companion.
