Robots: Our Virtual Friends in the Future

It may sound like something out of a sci-fi movie, but British researchers are developing software to make robots so smart, they could become friends or even co-workers in the future. Researchers are looking into several scenarios where the robots could be of service. For example, a security robot could notify human security officers when something is wrong, such as a small change in the environment that the human eye would not be able to detect on its own.

Indeed, the dawning of the machines has painstakingly evolved from mere gadgetry items to high-tech smart machines that could capture the needs at home and the workplace. I'm all for working with robots, but robots with a state of feeling or emotion that could befriend us humans? I doubt it. Some humans even find that hard to accomplish.
