Abstract

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?
