Trans-Human-Formers. A Practice-and-Perception-Theoretical Model for Human-Robot-Interaction
Throughout the last decades, the idea that human users can engage in relationships with “social robots” has triggered a wide-ranging debate which comprises technical, theoretical as well as ethical aspects and problems. In our paper, we propose a practice-and-perception-theoretical framework (PaP-framework) to analyze social interaction in general and human-robot-interaction in specific. After drawing some conclusions from the PaP-framework, we encourage designers to design social robots in way that does not need to mimic patterns of interaction that we are already familiar with from our everyday interactions with other human and animal beings.
