USA: Need a helping hand? Humans can bond with these emotion-savvy robots

Research Assistant at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Dan Chen, presented a new invention at his laboratory in Boston, Wednesday. Chen has developed five robots capable of exhibiting aspects of human friendships.
In order to create machines capable of empathy, Chen said he extrapolated what humans seek in friendships into five different elements, and then divide these needs into the five parts of the robot. Among the elements are the desires to be heard, understood and cared for.
The robots were created with the DIY programmer in mind, meaning that all five robots have open source code which allows programmers to make their own versions of each type of robot.
Chen doesn't see his robots going on the market; instead, he considers them simply 'thought-provoking' prototypes.
