petrushkagoogol Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 A robot cannot be ascribed to be a creature with emotions. (as of now). But I think that using a task-reward architecture, feeling can be simulated in a robot. Scenario -------- Consider a room cleaning robot. Here is the flow diagram - bool Scan_for_dirt = scan_for_dirt_status (using imaging sensors) do if (found) give audio feedback "Hmmm - It seems that there is still work to be done...." Continue Cleaning Else Flash lights and give audio feedback "Wow - The room is clean Sir...." Stop while (true) Using feedback - audio and visual a robot can not only simulate happiness but create the same in the owner. Is this then not an example of a robot entering the human emotion space ?

Maine farmer Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 Emotions are far more complex than simple positive feedback. The robot would need a whole set of programming to establish that the feedback "feels" good or bad. There are a whole lot of physiological processes involved in emotion .http://www.alive.com/health/emotions-and-physiology/ petrushkagoogol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
