Humanoid robots, or androids, have been developed and marketed along three general lines: entertainment robots (such as toys), service robots (task-oriented, such as security guards or receptionists) and companion robots (used in prolonged social interactions, such as teachers or home attendants). Little is known, however, about users’ expectations and preferences for highly interactive humanoid companions. What design characteristics would encourage or reduce human,attachment to a humanoid,robot? How do users differentiate service humanoid,robots from other androids designed for companionship? Do humanoid,products present unique issues for person-product attachment? This paper presents the results of a pilot research project investigating how potential robot users differentiate between “companion” and “service” robot preferences and expectations. Keywords Android, appearance, companion robot, design, emotion, function, human-robot interaction, robot, service robot, usability.

Because of the interdisciplinary nature of the book, we welcome authors from various areas of expertise. The deadline is: 1st October 2016 (send abstracts to anthony.milligan@kcl.ac.uk). All submitted abstracts should have a clear thesis, and be between 300-500 words. Possible topics include (but are not limited to):
INTIMACY: Gendered dynamics of power in sex with robots, Love and the machine, Domestic robots, or relationships with robots used in everyday home settings
CARE: Robots used with ageing populations, Robot therapists and caregivers, Robots acting as childcare workers or educators, Robots in sex education
CULTURE: Real robots and cultural constructs, Robots, gender, and subordination, Ethics of designing humanlike robots for social situations, Designing robots to prevent a Singularity, Robots and a posthuman future, Ethics, and humans hardwiring their subjective ideas of ethical norms in AI and robots, Asimov’s Three Laws (adequate or inadequate) applied to human-robot social.
The volume publisher is to be arranged; the editors are already in contact with rigorous academic publishers with a strong science and society series and will select the most appropriate fit for the volume.
