It has just been asserted recently that human empathy is also very often biased, misguided and out of place, which purportedly makes it a bad basis of morality. Empathy is not necessary a true "understanding" of others.

An expectation of returns, aka reciprocal altruism, requires the ability to keep an account of favors received, and it is generally assumed that this overcharges even primates. Empathy, even if misguided because of "ratomorphism", seems more likely.

Empathy doesn't imply full understanding. Mechanism here is more like being able to put oneself in the robot's place. Will I be distressed in those conditions? If yes the desire to help arises.

De Waal argues that empathy exists in a set of layers of varying complexity, with the inner one, probably present in rats, consisting of emotional contagion, without a cognitive element.

Empathy is what the rat is **thinks** the robot is feeling. It simulates being in the same situation and feels bad in the simulation and decides to solve the perceived problem to feel better.
