• Defining emotions verbally

• Testing robots in real-world scenarios

• Building robots with human-like features

How did Dr. Gordon define curiosity in his research?

• As the skill to navigate through obstacles

• As the drive to learn and the behavior that fulfills that drive

• As the capacity to mimic human emotions

• As the ability to solve complex problems

What does Dr. Gordon suggest about robot feelings compared to human and animal feelings?

• Robots can only express animal-like feelings

• Robots cannot have any feelings

• Robots can have their own unique types of feelings

• Robots can only mimic human feelings

What is necessary before programming feelings into robots?
