>* Who is programming a computer to feel emotions? I'm not aware of any significant work in the direction. (If anyone is, please link it!)* Affectiva is working on reading emotions, and there is some philosophy work on whether or not an AI can feel emotions [1]. A Russian group claims they will release an emotional robot around 2018, but scant details on what that even means [2]. More scholarly work [3] [4] [5] is ongoing, but slow going.
