Do you feel bad if you…?

A roomba has a docking station that charges itself. Well suppose (or maybe it does this already) that the roomba senses itself being low on battery and can “walk” over to the charging station and charge itself. Do you feel bad if you step in between the roomba and the docking station that it needs to go to charge itself blocking the signal? If you dont feel bad what about if your roomba screamed or cried when you did this? Funny discussion we had in psych class
oh I dont have one. It was a discussion in psych about what has a conscious and what has feelings. Because the roomba can essentially “think” becasue it locates and goes to the docking station does it then have feelings? Does it feel sad when you block it from going to its home?
