The fact that one robot can explain to another its surroundings and be understood implies imagination. Lets say that a ball was described, Robot 1 sees the ball. Robot 2 knows of it only because Robot 1 told him/her of it. In order to comprehend the ball, Robot 2 must imagine it since it cannot see it.
Now the fun questions...
  1. Does Robot 2 know that it has imagined the ball or is everything "real" to it.
  2. What happens if the robot is lied to? For example: Robot 1 tells Robot 2 there is a red ball behind him/her, but when he/she turns around it is the wrong color. (The first robot argument... I love it)
  3. Saying that they are curious implies feelings. (Another topic entirely)
  4. What sex are robots?.... typing him/her is getting quite old.
