Robots will eventually become capable of engaging in norm-regulated interactions with humans. But do people perceive them as equivalent moral entities? We will present two psychological studies (one completed, one ongoing) on the perception of robots as moral patients.

We will attempt to explain these empirical findings as a function of the level of human likeness of appearance and behaviors of robots, using visual vignettes.
