      abstract = {This edited collection approaches the field of social  robotics from the perspective of a cultural ecology,  fostering a deeper examination of the reach of robotic  technology into the lived experience of diverse human  populations, as well as the impact of human cultures on the  development and design of these social agents. To address  the broad topic of Cultural Robotics, the book is sectioned  into three focus areas: Human Futures, Assistive  Technologies, and Creative Platforms and their Communities.  The Human Futures section includes chapters on the  histories and future of social robot morphology design,  sensory and sonic interaction with robots, technology  ethics, material explorations of embodiment, and robotic  performed sentience. The Assistive Technologies section  presents chapters from community-led teams, and researchers  working to adopt a strengths-based approach to designing  assistive technologies for those with disability or  neurodivergence. Importantly, this section contains work  written by authors belonging to those communities. Creative  Platforms and their Communities looks to the creative  cross-disciplinary researchers adopting robotics within  their art practices, those contributing creatively to more  traditional robotics research, and the testing of robotics  in non-traditional platforms such as museum and gallery  spaces. Cultural Robotics: Social Robots and their Emergent  Cultural Ecologies makes a case for the development of  social robotics to be increasingly informed by  community-led transdisciplinary research, to be  decentralised and democratised, shaped by teams with a  diversity of backgrounds, informed by both experts and  non-experts, and tested in both traditional and  non-traditional platforms. In this way, the field of  cultural robotics as an ecological approach to encompassing  the widest possible spectrum of human experience in the  development of social robotics can be advanced. .},
