Provisions of Human-Robot Friendship
Pages 115 - 116
Abstract
In this paper, we provide an overview of theories on human-robot relationship development with an emphasis on equity relationships. Specifically, we discuss the potential for robots and humans to engage in a communal cost/reward relationship structure that is characteristic of friendship. The "Provisions of Friendship" have been proposed as being necessary for satisfying human-human relationships. We provide insights into what will be required of a robot at each stage in a dynamic relationship development process for a human to treat it as a friend.
