Effective communication is crucial for robots to be seen as \u201ccaring\u201d, necessitating advanced mechatronic design and natural language processing (NLP). This paper examines the potential of humanoid robots to autonomously replicate compassionate care. The study employs computational simulations using mathematical and agent-based modeling to analyze human\u2013robot interactions (HRIs) surpassing Tetsuya Tanioka\u2019s TRETON. It incorporates stochastic elements (through neuromorphic computing) and quantum-inspired concepts (through the lens of Martha Rogers\u2019 theory), running simulations over 100 iterations to analyze complex behaviors. Multisensory simulations (visual and audio) demonstrate the significance of \u201cdynamic communication\u201d, (relational) \u201centanglement\u201d, and (healthcare system and robot\u2019s function) \u201csuperpositioning\u201d in HRIs. Quantum and neuromorphic computing may enable humanoid robots to empathetically respond to human emotions, based on Jean Watson\u2019s ten caritas processes for creating transpersonal states. Autonomous AI humanoid robots will redefine the norms of \u201ccaring\u201d. Establishing \u201cpluralistic agreements\u201d through open discussions among stakeholders worldwide is necessary to align innovations with the values of compassionate care within a \u201cposthumanist\u201d framework, where the compassionate care provided by Level 4 robots meets human expectations. Achieving compassionate care with autonomous AI humanoid robots involves translating nursing, communication, computer science, and engineering concepts into robotic care representations while considering ethical discourses through collaborative efforts. Nurses should lead the design and implementation of AI and robots guided by \u201ctechnological knowing\u201d in Rozzano Locsin\u2019s TCCN theory.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/biomimetics9110687","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,12]],"date-time":"2024-11-12T06:28:32Z","timestamp":1731392912000},"page":"687","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Compassionate Care with Autonomous AI Humanoid Robots in Future Healthcare Delivery: A Multisensory Simulation of Next-Generation Models"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"9","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3499-1821","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Joannes Paulus Tolentino","family":"Hernandez","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Nursing Faculty, Generic Bachelor of Science (GBS) Degree Program, Helene Fuld College of Nursing, New York, NY 10035, USA"},{"name":"Advanced SpaceLife Research Institute (ASRI), Cape Canaveral, FL 32920, USA"},{"name":"Aerospace Medical Association (AsMA), Alexandria, VA 22314, USA"},{"name":"Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society of Nursing\u2014Alpha Zeta Chapter, Indianapolis, IN 46202, USA"},{"name":"International Association for Human Caring, Westwood, MA 02090, USA"},{"name":"American Nurses Association, Silver Spring, MD 20910, USA"},{"name":"Global Society for Philippine Nurse Researchers, Inc.
