Roboticists' Imaginaries of Robots for Care

In this paper we analyse imaginaries about care robots using a set of interviews with roboticists. The study of imaginaries-from a notion close to that of Castoriadis's radical imaginary-is used as a tool to unravel ethical, political and social concerns that care robots entail. From the analys...

From the analysis of the interviews, our results highlight that imaginaries regarding care robots are predominantly sustained by a social process of care fragmentation.
