Theme of the workshop
**************************************************************************
This half-day workshop aims to introduce and discuss philosophical
issues and future perspectives in the current works of social robotics,
focusing on a) the design of robots, b) the process of interactions
between human and robots, and c) self-understanding with respect to
human nature and morality.
In the current development of robotics, a variety of robots have been
produced and applied in different societies. The high expectations
towards industrial as well as service robots range from economical
incentives to a relief, or even a total liberation, from the hardships
of daily life. Humanlike androids are being developed with the ambition
to be immersed into out daily life and meet us on an equal level in
social interaction. The possibilities and limitations of all these types
of robots can potentially change societies and HRI might affect the very
way in which we engage with each other and who/what that 'other' might
be. As Heidegger pointed out technology is not neutral and as a
consequence transforms us. Robots seem to be especially potent in this
regard and robotics challenges our core conceptions of what we are and
how we should be. This workshop aims to be a platform to discuss
philosophical challenges to robotics and vice versa and the following
list indicates possible topics.
