German researchers are experimenting with an “artificial robot nervous system” to teach robots how to feel and react to pain, in what might be one of the saddest displays of robot bullying since Boston Dynamics’ Atlas was pushed by a hockey stick.

having a system in place that can detect robot injuries could prevent accidents.

Should not the idea be for a robot to be made to withstand the dangers, if a robot gets "injured, surely the Frankenstein lab will just make a stronger and more robust robot?

What accidents? get the robot to go in if they think there will be a danger to humans.  can understand a robot detecting any dangers, but does it need to feel (artificial) pain too? If the robot loses an arm, surely thats good enough without having to make it go ouch.

They ideas are endless, some times useless too.

If I take a hammer to a JCB digger bucket....which is a common way to remove the retaining pins holding them on...... is that a sad display of robot bullying?

Imagine how much more entertaining robot fights would be if the operators felt what their robots felt.

To learn to feel pain is likely to result in pain avoidance. To learn to avoid pain is to recognize self-preservation. Recognition of self-preservation is recognize that there is an alternative to flight. That is, to fight for self-preservation.

...Do people realize that robots aren't alive?

The feeling of pain may be great for some "pleasure-bots"

No. The moment they were made to feel pain, they'd begin to do everything in their power to avoid it. There's a reason that selfishness is so damn popular, and that reason is that the mechanism uses pain as a means to perpetually threaten it's creations to toil on in order to avoid it.
