Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?
After having watched scenes from I, Robot, Bicentennial Man, and Artificial Intelligence, and an enriching discussion on robots and respect for the 'Three Laws', I wonder what you think about the possibility of robots having feelings. Let us know what your opinion is, and make sure you check the title link too!

In the last years, people have been commenting if robots have got feelings. It has made different opinions: there are people who say that robots have got feelings and there are people who think that androids haven’t got feelings and they are against with the others opinions.
People who think that androids have got feelings say that robots are such as humans. The machines have been made like us and they can think, to feel sad or happy… Robots not only have got their body as our body, also they’ve his mind and brain such as us. For this reason, robots have got feelings; they aren’t only make for doing our work.
Consequently, like there are people who think that robots haven’t got feelings, also there’re people who are against. They say that robots only must do our work and they can’t to feel anything. This people think that robot’s brain have been made only for order us. Therefore, they can’t to cry, to feel happy or sad and they can’t to feel anything.
In conclusion, there are two types of opinions, both are well, but I think that the second is the correct, because robots have been made for doing our live easily. So, I think that makers thought that wouldn’t be well that robots feel anything. That they feel something could to be a problem…
With regard In the title of the commentary, first I like say that robot is a machin whit her program inside and all her mechanism. For this I have a clear opinion about this topic, but of all forms fifty years ago nobody was thinking that now we would have so many technology and look at...
So, I think that for one hand the robot's haven't feelings, because be machins and for more than apparent a human, not is, al least now. For this reason I agree whit people that thing that this machins can't feel anything, because only be created for help at humans, and if they would have feelings, they would can to attack to the people, for example in an assault of jealousies and already woulnd't well his purpose.
For the other hand, if we now have robots and never we had say, who can tell that in the future anybody will invent it?For the moment I prefer think that they never arrive to be same the people because I think that will be dangerous.
In conclusion, people can think and defend the two positions, but I have clear that robots olny can be machins for do the job that humans don't like do.
A few years ago, lots of scientists have asked, and researched about this topic: Do robots have feelings? Some scientists think that they do, and others think that they don't. Humans created lots of machines to make us life easier. For example, long time ago, a squeezer was not automatic, however, now they are automatic. Right now there is not artificial life, such as a robot that you can speak to him, and expect from him a reply.
What happens, if, in a future, we create robots like on science fiction? If we are able to make those things, to create artificial life, with a brain. Why can't this "things" have feelings? Can a robot consider as a father his creator? Of course, if they have a brain, although it's artificial, they may have feelings
On the other side, some people thinks the opposite, robots haven't got feelings. A machine will never be as good as a human being, and we don't have to forget that they are machines, just electronical things inside, programmed to obey humans, so it is impossible that something programmed has feelings.
In conclusion, some people thinks that robots have feelings, and other people thinks the opposite. We will be able to make artificial life in a few years, but it will be hard to know if they have feelings or not...
I have posted this question on another forum where I usually post (An online gaming community, on an off-topic section) maybe you may want to have a look on it
http://www.igzones.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=10082&st=0&#entry99337
In this very complexity world, with humans and machines, and with a lot of questions about these latest; the main question is, the robots have feelings? There are people who are in agreement, the robots have feelings like people; and there are people who aren’t in agreement, the robots are simple machines and it never will have feelings.
The robots have feelings because they can be happy or sad; their lives are completely improvised, and they never have been planned; for this reason they may think without worrying about any of the three laws of robotics, and to decide whether to act or not. The people who are agree about the robots have feelings, they have these arguments.
But there are people who think that the robots haven’t feelings and they have some arguments. They say that the robots are simple machines previously determined and they always act the same way. Therefore for this people, the robots are Technological advances, with a lot of processors, but without feelings.
This means that, there are two different opinions about this topic, both are very correct and respectable, but my opinion is that the robots never will have feelings, because they are a professional mechanisms that always follow a predetermined process and they can’t act consciously, only, obey orders.
In this time, there are a lot of people who still ask themselves if robots have got feelings or not. It can there are a lot of opinions about this question so, I will explain why I think that the people can be agree about this topic and, on the other hand, they can be disagree.
The people who think that the robots have got feelings is because they think that this machines can get to become aware and spirit. I suppose that, this is because they think that we would be able to imitate the human brain, therefore the robots would have an artificial intelligence.
On the other side, there are humans who think that this is impossible, the robots always will be machines, they are create to obey the human orders and not for to have feelings.
This means that, there are two opposite opinions; I believe that some day there will be a robot with a type of feeling, never will be like a human but it will be able to feel and have emotions.
It seems that many people have diferents opinions about if a robot has feelings or not. Some people think that the robots have been created for the service, and another part of people think the robots can have feelings.
On the one hand, people that think that robots can have feelings, believe that robots can develop their abilities to the point of having traits as human beings.
On the other hand, there are many people who believe that robots cannot get to have feelings because they say that robots haven't brain and therefore they haven't any ability to reason, so they are only created to obey orders on the sidelines of the three laws.
In conclusion, there are two types of opinions, one of them defend that robots have feelings, and another that not. However, I think that the right thing is that robots haven't feelings for the reason that they haven't brain.
In the XXI century there are people that begin to think if in a future the robots will have feelings, the same that the humans. With this form to think, started appearing different opinions about this topic. People who think that a robot will never have feelings, and who think that a robot in a future will may have feelings.
The people that think that robots will may have feelings, think that robots in a future will be so modern and outposts, that can feel happiness or sadness, the same that the humans. This people say that when a robot can have feelings immediately a robot become man’s best friend. For this reason people think that the engineers find the form to create emotions in an artificial brain, to help and understand people in his problems.
For the other part there are people that think that robots will never have feelings, because robots are only metal and circuits and it isn’t a biological organism, and for this reason never can have feelings, only can simulate these feelings.
In conclusion, there are people that think different things, things that only can be demonstrated in a future. But in my opinion a robot, is only this, a robot. And they never can have feelings; only can be programmed to simulate these feelings. Because to the engineers is a problem make machines with feelings, because a robot can use this feelings to break the three laws and do everything that he want.
On this issue, there isn’t a specific answer. There is a wide range of views on whether the robots have feelings or not. We have to realize that the robots are machines and they aren’t living things.
Some people think that the robots don't have any kind of feelings associated with the feelings of humans. They think that the machine will never be able to feel the same as people, because we were born with this ability and robots are only imitations.
Others people, argue that the robots and machines can have feelings. Maybe because they confused the artificial with the nature. They see the human as a God that can create life, and thus to create in machines, senses and feelings.
I personally think that the robots do not have feelings and never have feelings. Because I think that is born with feelings and it is impossible to create them in any way.
Robots and technological advances include many discussions and perspectives, but the topic most controversian is if they have or not have feelings.Some people think that robots were only a machine and other people think that they probably have feelings and emotions.
Functions and duties of a robot are clear, they are more efficient and always doing what they is ordained, consequently, people treat them as slaves and it isn't nicely.But these people think that this is a robot, a machine what do works and help, not a person.Therefore, they don't have feelings, and they don't suffer and not feel as slaves.
On the other hand, there are many people who thinks that robots belong similar to humans, whit a metallic interior instead of human, but whit feelings or rational thoughts that thay can feel if we treats well, if we says something nice, and not only orders.
In conclusion, it's a big dilema.I think that at the moment what you buy or have a robot, you accepted that they are a 'being' whit feelings or not, but a being, who deserved a good treat and not abuses.

Actually, there are people who think if robots have got feelings or not. That question have created a discussion which there is a part of people who think that robots have feelings, as if it were a human, and another part don’t think that and say that it can’t get to have.
Those who are agree positively in this discussion say that robots have been created as human, physically and psychologically. They say that it isn’t a great piece of plastic, unless they have feelings, suffer from the things that happen to them, and cheer like us. Not only have been created to serve us, it have been created for living its own experiences.
On the other hand, those who think that robots haven’t got feelings, say that it have been created only as physical human and for obey all our orders; this is the reason because it may not feel sadness, happiness or another feeling, only can obey their creators.
To sum up, we saw that in this discussion there are two opinions. I think both have reason because if the humans are a perfect machine and becomes to created a robot physically like us, why cannot create it in the psychic and the sentimental?
In the last years, the robots have been perfected a lot. Therefore humans have asked if they have got feelings like us.
On one hand, there are people who think that they have got feelings because they are seemed to us. Also, humans and robots are so friends that they can think like us.
On the other hand, there are people who think that they haven't got feelings because a robot that have been created by a human and a computer program can't to have feelings like a humans.
In conclusion, I think that they haven't got feelings because they can to show it, but really they are a computer creation. Everytime this feelings made by a human can to be more reals, but in spite of it's only a computer program.
According to the topic as if the robots have feelings or not, there are two opposite points of view. There are people who thinks that the robots have the same feelings as the humans. But, on the other hand, there are people that believe that this is impossible.
Those who really think that the robots have feelings, maybe base on three laws of robotics. It can be understood by the first law, that the robots can be hurt by humans.
On the other hand, people who think that the robots can't have feelings is because they see the robots like machines, able to helps the humans to do anything.
In conclusion, I think that the robots can't consider as a human that have feelings, because by me are like a object anyone.
To the question as if the robots have got feelings, there are two types of answers. The first answers, they've inferior and they haven't feelings for that reason we haven't respected it.The second answers,somebody think that robots have the same feelings of human and for that reason we've respected it.
The persons who think that the robots haven't feelings, they believe that the robots are simply machine and robots must help human with the 3 laws without complaining. for the other hand, without feelings, the robot haven't got 3 laws and use them.
The people who think the robots have feelings, they believe that the robots are more than machine. the robots use the 3 laws and protect the people and itserf. This feelings are same that humans because the robots and humans help our.
In conclusion, I think that the robots have to have feelings because the robots have to help human and human have to help robots and not fight.
The people think androids or robots doesn’t have feelings, but others people thinks robots have feelings because it’s helps to other people and live with them. And this opinions are against or in favour to robots have or not have feelings.
People think the robots have feelings because it living with others peoples and he can love’s, he can think, is like a person.
Other peoples think robots haven’t got feelings, they think robots are computers and consequently only can doing her job. And isn’t have feelings and love’s the people.
In conclusion two opinions are valid but I think the second opinion is the true because robots are program ate and doing the orders of human and when the human turn off they doesn’t life. The different opinions put against the people. But which opinion you think is correct?
The people who invented the first robot weren't thinking in the robots brain. It was designed for making easier the work of the people. Actually, when we can find a part of a robot making the work easier everyware, we tried to design an android. It's robots, which parts is similar to a human, but of course, are made from metal. Now the problem is the mind of this android. Can this machine have feelings? There are people who think that it can and who thinks that it can't.
People who think that the robot can have feelings say that the feelings are situations, which have different reactions. If all of these situations are studied, and all the reactions possible to these situations are combined with each other, the feelings can exist in an android. The positive is that every cause have an effect, so if the effect is a feeling, this argument is right. The negative is that this argument sounds like unreal, because researching all the situations and reactions is almost impossible.
The people who thinks that androids can't have feelings says that we, the humans, are very different, which means that situations are different. As a result of that, to explain and study every situation is impossible. The positive of this argument is that it looks on the easier side of this question. The negative part of this reason is that it says that something is impossible now, but we never know what the humanity will invent in a few years, decades, centuries. It's impossible now, but it could be possible in the future.
In conclusion, I think that the both opinions are ok, but I am 50-50. The first is half correct because it's not impossible to study a single situation. The second is half correct because we will look on the easiest part of the situation so the feeling in androids will result unnecessary.

In this coment i'm going to compare two ideas:If the robots have feelings or if not have it feelings.
Some people are agains with the first,others are agree.
But others do a diference with androids and robots,because some people thinks that androids have feelings and others think that bouth haven't it...
At first I'm going to explain people who defend that te robots have got feelings and androids too.
This type of people thinks that all the objects(because he considered people like objects)that can decide or think or things like that. However he don't do it aware,it have feelings, because all this desicions have one cause,and this is a feeling.
Now i'm going to defend people who are not in favore with the idea that robots or androids or any tyope of artificial live don't have feelings, bacauseit dont are like humans,it don't are intelligents,or can't decide anythimg, etc. it only ovey orders. So this people only believe in human feelings, anda think taht feelings are one thing that diference us with the machines.
In conclusion, we don't know who have the reason but we can insure that there are a lot of posicions, agains and in favore, but not a solucion for all the people,because
each peorson have an idea, a diferent idea for everithing anda this subject don't be the first taht everybody were in comont.
And there aren't no conclusion.only that there are a lot of believes.
Wich is the most truthful? what is the realest? What is correct?
Now anwsered my questions
