What is the goal or point of putting so much time and money into developing robots that can develop an emotional interaction with a human? I mean should we even be trying to put this purpose into robots? I suppose for toys it makes sense, but why even do that? The resources could be used to do something much more useful with them, right? Just a thought.
The emotional interaction between robots and humans will be life long , unlike people or pets robots do not die. As with pets, emotion works on a superficial child like level. A robot can be made to feel soft ,look cute make pleasing sounds or even give an unconditional hug. These all create basic human emotional responses. Once I have finished building my robot the interraction part is not that difficult.
