Anomalocaris Posted May 29, 2016 #1 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Quote 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.

freetoroam Posted May 29, 2016 #2 Share Posted May 29, 2016 having a system in place that can detect robot injuries could prevent accidents. http://gizmodo.com/researchers-want-robots-to-feel-pain-in-saddest-experim-1779317539 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. Professor Sami Haddadin, an expert on human-robot interaction, http://gizmodo.com/researchers-want-robots-to-feel-pain-in-saddest-experim-1779317539 They ideas are endless, some times useless too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wickian Posted May 29, 2016 #4 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Imagine how much more entertaining robot fights would be if the operators felt what their robots felt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highdesert50 Posted May 31, 2016 #5 Share Posted May 31, 2016 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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrisonerX Posted June 1, 2016 #9 Share Posted June 1, 2016 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.
