ASPIRACIÓN Y EXPECTATIVA: UN ESTUDIO DE PERCEPCIÓN SOCIAL SOBRE ROBOT IMAGINARIO. (French)

Technological advancement has led to a series of transformations in human life that have deeply permeated the innermost circle of the social sphere. Among these innovations, the development of social robots stands out, whose influence on the relationship between humans and technology, particularly in the field of care, is notable. The objective of this study is to carry out an investigation into the aspirations and expectations related to the development of social robots, from the perspective of older people and children, in the context of care in three countries: Spain, Romania, and Italy. With the involvement of 41 elderly people and 44 children, this study aims to identify the elements that generate feelings of approval or disapproval in relation to social robots. Using a participatory approach, this study expands the understanding of the perceptions and aspirations of children and elderly people, in relation to their vision of what shape a social robot might take. The analysis highlights that there is a tendency to feminize the representation of the imagined robot, as a consequence of the association with attributes and roles traditionally considered feminine in society.
