Can artificial intelligence create a human robot?

[Jalopy]

Artificial intelligence appears to have been stagnated in one respect; the creation of robots that can mimic human beings. 

The simple question is, how are robot algorithms different than human brain processes? Robots can mimic the logical reasoning of human beings, in fact, to a greater degree than human beings. Chess software is one example.

So the logical aspect of human brains has already been developed by robot algorithms. 

The missing part is emotion. Robots cannot understand emotion, or process emotion like humans can. If you had a robot that was both emotional and logical, you'd be closer to creating a robot that can actually mimic human beings.

What is emotion made up of? Repeated patterns of reaction to stimuli. Personality traits and character traits come into play. But personality is laregly dependant on habitual reactions to external stimuli.

So if you were to create a robot alogrithm with habitual reactions to preprogrammed stimuli, you would in effect be creating an emotional robot. That plus the logic algorithm of robotics, would create a human robot.

Probably the biggest difference is that modern machine learning algorithms use back-propagation, whereas there is no such (known) mechanism in brains.

Back propogation meaning the human ability to learn?

No.

Why would you want that? We have plenty of natural human beings. What do we need artificial ones for?

It seems to me, robots are made for tasks to which humans are not well suited: hazardous, monotonous, heavy, dirty, uncomfortable work. If the robots learned to hate their jobs as much as humans do, what is their advantage? More to the point, how do you make them carry on?

The purpose of creating a human robot ought to be purely out of artistic spirit, the desire to discover how far science can proceed, rather than with a view to 'making robots replace humans'...what a disgusting sentiment, that.

Oh, I se. Automata, except you can make them cry or goad them to rage.

AI is better in some things than in others.

For examp, for the past 60 years weapon scientists have been pouring billions into developing foolproof heatseeking anti-aircraft missiles like the Sidewinder, yet their little onboard brains are still too dumb to tell the difference between a plane target and a tuppeny ha'penny decoy flare..:)
