RE: Incorporating Pain Receptor In Robotics [Making Artificial Intelligence To Feel Pain]

in #technology7 years ago

No one likes to feel pain, of course it has its function which is to alert us that something is very wrong with our body, but no one likes to feel it, only masochists.

In the case of machines, I don't think they will like to feel it either, probably the best would be to figure out a way to inform the being that something is wrong, without having to suffer for it.

Sort:  

I agree with you. Infact, I don't really see it as needful. The feeling of pain though will protect them, might limit their actions and responses to situations.

As unwanted as pain is; it also help us to survive. Remember it's also a vital sign which alert us of threat.
If you read the story of Ashlyn Blocker that I mentioned earlier, you would understand the need for pains.
She doesn't feel pain, and because of this, she often mistakenly hurts herself so badly.

Thanks for coming around
