Humans can feel empathy for robots in pain
A team of Japanese researchers has found the first neurophysiological evidence of humans\' ability to empathise with robots in perceived pain, highlighting the difference in human empathy toward other humans and robots.
Tokyo: A team of Japanese researchers has found the first neurophysiological evidence of humans' ability to empathise with robots in perceived pain, highlighting the difference in human empathy toward other humans and robots.
Empathy is a basic human ability where we often feel empathy toward and console others in distress. Since robots are becoming increasingly popular and common in our daily lives, it is necessary to understand our interaction with robots in social situations, the authors noted.
The team from Toyohashi University of Technology in collaboration with researchers at Kyoto University in Japan performed electroencephalography (EEG) in 15 healthy adults who were observing pictures of either a human or robotic hand in painful or non-painful situations.
