With all the work I do with artificial intelligence and robotics, I suppose I have a unique point of view when it comes to the creatures that science fiction seems to produce. But the similarity I've found between most of these books and movies boils down to one question: Can robots feel?
Technology is progressing by leaps and bounds, and yet that question still remains, as it has for decades. I've found myself pondering it, as we draw closer to Valentine's Day, which celebrates love in most all its forms.
Can a robot learn to love? Could we someday progress so far that something mechanical could learn to feel human emotions, as we feel them. Or will they always be subpar, in that respect.
