Description
Living with Robots explores a pivotal shift in robotics from artificial intelligence to artificial empathy. Today's robots engage with humans in meaningful ways, serving as therapists, trainers, mediators, caregivers, and companions. This development challenges traditional notions of human emotions, instead positing them as a continuum between two interacting actors. As roboticists program artificial empathy into their creations, they are rethinking the role of sociability in emotion and questioning fundamental human ethical assumptions. The field of social robotics has come to recognize that there is no single universal characteristic for robots to emulate, but rather a diverse array of actors - human and nonhuman - in complex relationships. For effective interaction with humans, social robots must be attentive to individual uniqueness and exercise social autonomy, becoming more than mere automatons. They must adapt to the rules governing their interactions with humans, demonstrating a degree of agency in their relationships.
