SOCIAL ROBOTS FROM A HUMAN PERSPECTIVE KARTONIE...

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.
