This volume offers eleven philosophical investigations into our
future relations with social robots--robots that are specially
designed to engage and connect with human beings. The contributors
present cutting edge research that examines whether, and on which
terms, robots can become members of human societies. Can our
relations to robots be said to be "social"? Can robots enter into
normative relationships with human beings? How will human social
relations change when we interact with robots at work and at home?
The authors of this volume explore these questions from the
perspective of philosophy, cognitive science, psychology, and
robotics. The first three chapters offer a taxonomy for the
classification of simulated social interactions, investigate
whether human social interactions with robots can be genuine, and
discuss the significance of social relations for the formation of
human individuality. Subsequent chapters clarify whether robots
could be said to actually follow social norms, whether they could
live up to the social meaning of care in caregiving professions,
and how we will need to program robots so that they can negotiate
the conventions of human social space and collaborate with humans.
Can we perform joint actions with robots, where both sides need to
honour commitments, and how will such new commitments and practices
change our regional cultures? The authors connect research in
social robotics and empirical studies in Human-Robot Interaction to
recent debates in social ontology, social cognition, as well as
ethics and philosophy of technology. The book is a response to the
challenge that social robotics presents for our traditional
conceptions of social interaction, which presuppose such essential
capacities as consciousness, intentionality, agency, and normative
understanding. The authors develop insightful answers along new
interdisciplinary pathways in "robophilosophy," a new research area
that will help us to shape the "robot revolution," the distinctive
technological change of the beginning 21st century.
