Why, exactly, would you want to create a robot that ‘feels’ pain other than for testing or furthering AI capabilities?
Americans have been anxiously awaiting robots that feel pain. I would like to kick the sh*t out of the ones I have to deal with every time I try to call a company about something.

“Marvin trudged on down the corridor, still moaning. "...and
then of course I've got this terrible pain in all the
diodes down my left hand side..."
"No?" said Arthur grimly as he walked along beside him.
"Really?"
"Oh yes," said Marvin, "I mean I've asked for them to be
replaced but no one ever listens."
"I can imagine.”
― Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
Dave why are you pinching me Dave?
Almost like the PAIN whenever I see a screaming, capitalized word in the trash tabloid rag known as The Mail?
Stupid writer gets all twitterpated over adding sensors...
WHY?
To make a robot feel REAl pain, stick his finger into an electrical socket.
There is no consciousness for a robot to feel anything. It’s just parts moving and if this part moves over here we will define that as pain. To get a sense of a robot’s lack of consciousness think about turning on a computer. When you turn on a computer it says “Welcome.” Do you think it means it?

Obviously they will not feel PAIN. They will simulate the sensation of PAIN.
Robots are not organisms. They are machines. They are not living. Eh? capeesh?
