Abstract

Social robot morphologies are not conceived in a void but build on cultural trajectories of artifact design that precede them. We suggest three design tropes that are predominant in many robots morphological design choices: the human replica, the futuristic machine, and the cute companion. We discuss the first two of these tropes in the context of their historical origins, and the third from a contemporary lens. For all three, we present cultural implications of the aesthetic typologies to emphasize the critical importance of conscious engagement with these contexts when designing social robots.
