This book presents a comprehensive overview of the human dimension
of social robots by discussing both transnational features and
national peculiarities. Addressing several issues that explore the
human side of social robots, this book investigates what a social
robot is and how we might come to think about social robots in the
different areas of everyday life. Organized around three sections
that deal with Perceptions and Attitudes to Social Robots, Human
Interaction with Social Robots, and Social Robots in Everyday Life,
it explores the idea that even if the challenges of robot
technologies can be overcome from a technological perspective, the
question remains as to what kind of machine we want to have and use
in our daily lives. Lessons learned from previous widely adopted
technologies, such as smartphones, indicate that robot technologies
could potentially be absorbed into the everyday lives of humans in
such a way that it is the human that determines the human-machine
interaction. In a similar way to how today's information and
communication technologies were initially designed for
professional/industrial use, but were soon commercialized for the
mass market and then personalized by humans in the course of daily
practice, the use of social robots is now facing the same
revolution of 'domestication.' In the context of this
transformation, which involves the profound embedding of robots in
everyday life, the 'human' aspect of social robots will play a
major part. This book sheds new light on this highly topical issue,
one of the central subjects that will be taught and studied at
universities worldwide and that will be discussed widely, publicly
and repeatedly in the near future.
