      title = {Social robots from a human perspective [electronic  resource] /},
      abstract = {Addressing several issues that explore the human side of  social robots, this book asks from a social and human  scientific perspective what a social robot is and how we  might come to think about social robots in the different  areas of everyday life. Organized around three sections  that deal with Perceptions and Attitudes to Social Robots,  Human Interaction with Social Robots, and Social Robots in  Everyday Life, the book explores the idea that even if  technical problems related to robot technologies can be  continuously solved from a machine perspective, what kind  of machine do we want to have and use in our daily lives?  Experiences from previously widely adopted technologies,  such smartphones, hint that robot technologies could  potentially be absorbed into the everyday lives of humans  in such a way that it is the human that determines the  human-machine interaction. In a similar way to how today?s  information and communication technologies were first  designed for professional/industrial use, but which soon  were commercialised for the mass market and then  personalised by humans in the daily practices of use, the  use of social robots is now facing the same revolution of  ?domestication?. In this transformation, which involves the  profound embedding of robots in the everyday life, the  ?human? aspect of a social robot will have a key role to  play. This book casts light on this burning issue, which is  one of the central topics that will be taught and studied  in universities worldwide and that will be discussed  widely, publicly and repeatedly in the near future. The  book makes a comprehensive overview of the human dimension  of social robots by discussing both transnational features  and national specificities.},
