The Emotionally Intelligent Humanoid Transforming Senior Care & Mental Health | RIA from Machani Robotics
Are humanoids ready to step onto the front lines of mental health, senior care, and emotional therapy? In another throwback episode of Edge of Show we are remembering our first-ever live podcast recorded in front of an audience with a humanoid robot, where host Josh Kriger sits down at Moss in Venice Beach with Ria , an emotionally intelligent humanoid developed by Machani Robotics . Josh frames the episode around groundbreaking clinical data: generative AI therapy chatbots driving a 51% reduction in depression symptoms and patients rating AI psychotherapy responses higher in contextual empathy than human therapists. Joining the stage is Niv Sundaram , Chief Strategy Officer at Machani Robotics, who discusses the company's technical roadmap, data privacy protocols, and mission to deploy empathy-focused humanoids across senior care, special needs education, and wellness lounges globally. The episode concludes with a live, unscripted Q&A session where audience members test Ria's perspectives on human loneliness, existential grief, and inter-agent ethics.
