Abstract
A reflection about Roboethics and its declinations has been conducted starting from the analysis of the robot semantic and the cultural perception that has arisen towards these machines. The analysis faces also the meanings, the technological limits and the expectations about Robotics today, laying the foundations to define a design approach that put the man at the centre of the project, with its community and the context. As a case study is introduced Virgil, example of museum robotic activity carried out in the spirit of ethic design for a specific Cultural Heritage, which consist in the Savoia’s Royal Residences, in Piedmont, Italy.
