Robots today can walk, talk, even play chess better than humans. But many people ask: Can robots feel emotions like happiness, anger, or sadness? The short answer is: No, not like humans.

Emotions come from our brain and heart, and are connected to our experiences. Robots don’t have feelings; they are programmed. But AI can understand emotions by analyzing faces, voice tones, or words. For example, a robot dog may wag its tail when you smile—but it’s just following code.

Still, companies are building emotional robots, like companion bots for the elderly, or therapy robots for kids. These machines don’t feel, but they create emotional experiences.

So while robots don’t have real feelings, they can respond in emotional ways. But the beauty of human emotions is something only we truly understand.
