Robots humanoïdes intelligents : entre chose, objet vivant et non-vivant

Abstract

In this article, the author, Lucas Cardiell, explores the complex nature of Intelligent Humanoid Robots (IHRs) and their potential categorization as either living or non-living entities. His analysis examines factors like their design, appearance, aesthetic considerations, actions, human perception, and the unique issues they pose to people. Cardiell suggests that IHRs might be perceived as virtually or digitally living entities—analogous to how plants and animals are considered as biological life forms. Instead of focusing on biological processes, Cardiell’s analysis focuses on human perception and the dynamics of human-humanoid interactions. He claims that our understanding of this technology and our classification of it as being living or non-living entities is shaped through our interactions with it.
