Technology is advancing rapidly; especially in the field of robotics. The purpose of this study was to examine children’s perception and interpretation of robots and robot behaviour. The study was divided into two phases: phase one involved 144 children (aged 7-8) from two primary schools drawing a picture of a robot and then writing a story about the robot that they had drawn. In phase two, in small groups, 90 children observed four e-puck robots interacting within an arena. The children were asked three questions during the observation: ‘What do you think the robots are doing?’, ‘Why are they doing these things?’ and ‘What is going on inside the robot?’ The results indicated that children can hold multiple understandings of robots simultaneously. Children tend to attribute animate characteristics to robots. Although this may be explained by their stage of development, it may also influence how their generation integrates robots into society.
