Abstract

Today the industrial interests for technological objects, the increasing number of robotic solutions that appear on the market and the powerful imaginative stories on robotics demand a deep exploration on what living with robots means. This article shows how art and design could contribute to the field of social robotics by proposition a new paradigm shift based on aesthetic and ethical challenges intimately linked to the quality of living. It shows different explorations coming from artists and designers whose goals are finally very similar to those of roboticists. These experiments allow not only to create technical and artistic objects but also propose new ways to better understand the human-robot interaction on notions like the design of the robotic body, the different types of relationships with robots and the narrative context.
