Can we have social interactions with robots? How much of a ‘theory of mind’ do robots need to be ‘sociable’? If we engage with robots as if they were persons, how will this affect how we understand ourselves and how we interact with other humans? The conference will feature philosophical research that closely interacts with empirical studies of concrete applications of sociable robots in robotics, psychology, anthropology, or cognitive science.  The conference shall also clarify the extent to which philosophical research can be used for the design and use of sociable robots.
