Whilst most research concentrates on the imagined future of
robotics, this book brings together a group of international
researchers to explore the different ways that robots and humans
engage with one another at this point in history. Robotic design is
advancing at an incredible pace, and consequently the role of
robots has expanded beyond mechanical work in the industrial sector
to the social and domestic environment. From kitchen table pets in
the shape of dinosaurs or baby seals, to robot arms that assist
with eating, to self-driving cars, this book explores the
psychological impact of robotic engagement, especially in domestic
settings. Each chapter explores a different aspect of humanoid
robotics, for example, the relationship between robotics and
gender, citizenship, moral agency, ethics, inequality, and
psychological development, as well as exploring the growing role of
robots in education, care work, and intimate relationships. Drawing
on research from across the fields of psychology, anthropology, and
philosophy, this ground-breaking volume discusses the emerging
social side of robotics. By examining our relationship with robots
now, this book offers a new and innovative opportunity for
understanding our future with robots and robotic culture. Designing
Robots, Designing Humans will be interest to researchers of
artificial intelligence and humanoid robotics, as well as
researchers from cognitive and social psychology, philosophy,
computer science, anthropology, linguistics, and engineering
backgrounds.
