Do Robots Have Soul? A Study over the Influence of Social Ecology over Robotic Design

Abstract

In real life, we always see some cute and harmless robots that interact with us like animals or humans. Social ecology embeds the fundamentals of techno-animistic thinking in different societies and lead to the variances of technological design on robotic features. Techno-animism denotes the formation of human cognition towards technological creations. In this regard, this paper discusses the impact of human cognition on the design of robots.
