What are the positive and negative impacts of

emotions on humanoid robots?

When robots are being tested they are tested for
both business impact and social impact. There is
and will be either a good impact or a bad one on
the society. Examples of positive impacts are as
follows:
a) A milking robot that has laser-sensors to
see where to take the milk out of and do it
24/7. It will make the farmer’s life easier
by doing it for him and he (the farmer)
will be able to enjoy his life.
b) New jobs will be created, because when
robots take over the basic jobs (waiters,
labourers among others) they will also need
to be trained by “robot trainers”, who will
simply demonstrate what to do and give them
(robots) feedback on how they did it.
Examples of negative impacts are as follows:
a) Self-driving cars (SDC) and trucks are
robots, if they are here who would need
taxi and truck drivers. Though someone
would be required to load and unload the
materials.
b) Who would need car-salesmen, if the people
are able to just order a SDC ,in it there
will be shared cars and private cars (for a
little extra cash), which will put many
people out of jobs.
