Can AI learn human emotion from scratch as they live work close to human being, providing it has state of the art technology?

The AI is working as same principle as we know today. It is rational AI, which goal is to get the job done at most optimal ways. Their roles have nothing to do with human psychology, so the manufacturer does not implement human psychology. The manufacturer also has no intention to make an AI that tries to behave like a human. All they want is that their product can get the job done. You can think of AI for industry trash collector, constructor, onboard computer of spaceship, science vessel, etc.

The AI can learn and adapt, so it can do it job better from experience. It can understand human language (Natural language processing) to take direct commands from humans (so people just say what to do in their own words, rather than pressing many buttons). But the AI has nothing about human psychology.

Assume the AIs have state-of-the-art technology and is not limited by CPU speed or memory.

Now it is the special case where human look at that kind of AI like another human being, a friend.

For more specific, here is some example

• Case 1:
  You are the engineering who have a drone as your assistance (that drone is made to adapt at the job in that factory, not for household, domestic). You have some tragic (for example, lost family in the on-going civil war), and you have no friend but that drone.
• Case 2:
  You are the scientist on the long expedition, which the AI who control on-board computer to pilot the ship, carry out experience at your command. But you are alone. So in free-time, you talk to the computer about your life, your story.

(some people do talk to their pet, or an imaginary friend when they feel lonely, you can think of these case above have some similarity).

So my question is can these AI develop emotion (real emotion, not fake emotion like Iphone Siri) as they work and live close to human long enough when human behave to them like another human being.
