A-musing job: give sentiment to androids

And so there was the protagonist. I started to think a bit more, a trait there, a habit here, ending up with idiosyncrasy. I deliberately made up something different from the text.

During this period there were events happening all over the world, including earthquakes. One thing revived my attention to the external world for a while was that there was speculation aout the pair of small meteorites closing in our Earth -- they were in a way related to the smallest planet outside our solar system. This planet was found by New Zealand scientists. It is the smallest, but not the nearest. This small planet is orbiting around a star 3000 light years away. The distance is more than a double of eternity on earth.

Another strange thing was ten of thousands of rats escaped from their home and ran on the field. Refugee, to where?

I was back to my creation.

One thing about android is the sentiment. Assuming we can build a full-functioning metal-ceramic-mixed shell body for robots, it can move either because of programming or natural force fields. What about the sentimental side?

I assume yet another scenario. In the future robotics specialists agree that ‘android’ is the kind of robot which, in addition to its human appearance, must have human-like sentiments. That won’t come easy.

A gesture matching a certain expression or an attitude. Idiosyncrasy allows interpretation and therefore difference. But is the sentiment good for the android or us the humans? We should want them to behave alike. We breathe this attribute to them. We entrust and vest this gift to androids so that they can evolve...

Can we thus make things better? We humans have long been suffered from sentiments. Why would androids be endowed with them. It would only make things more complicated.

But future robots should have a processing portion for sentiments. So, who is going to do that? Scientists won’t do sentiments. Programmers? Can sentiment fits in programming? I presume they are different things.
