Robots are becoming increasingly pervasive in our lives, evolving from service and security robots to social robots that build bonds and personal relationship with their human counterparts. We are witnessing a growing trend of robots being embedded within various groups and demographics. This paper presents social robots that mediate relationships between individuals, groups, and society as a whole, which we refer to as embodied mediators. These embodied mediators cater not only to individual needs, but also to communal and societal needs. As we develop these new types of robots with the potential to significantly impact society, it is imperative to establish guiding principles that ensure their safe and beneficial integration. This paper proposes three principles for embodied mediation that consider social underpinnings and extend beyond theory and into practice through use case scenarios currently under development.

摘要

Robots are becoming increasingly pervasive in our lives, evolving from service and security robots to social robots that build bonds and personal relationship with their human counterparts. We are witnessing a growing trend of robots being embedded within various groups and demographics. This paper presents social robots that mediate relationships between individuals, groups, and society as a whole, which we refer to as embodied mediators. These embodied mediators cater not only to individual needs, but also to communal and societal needs. As we develop these new types of robots with the potential to significantly impact society, it is imperative to establish guiding principles that ensure their safe and beneficial integration. This paper proposes three principles for embodied mediation that consider social underpinnings and extend beyond theory and into practice through use case scenarios currently under development.
