Table Of ContentSoon, robots will leave the factories and make their way into
living rooms, supermarkets, and care facilities. They will coop-
humans
erate with in everyday life, taking on more than just
practical tasks. How should they communicate with us?
Do they need eyes, a screen, or arms? Should they resemble
humans
? Or may they enrich social situations precisely
because they act so differently from humans?
Robots
Meaningful Futures with : Designing a New Coexis-
tence provides insight into the opportunities and risks that
robots
arise from living with in the future, anchored in current
research projects on everyday robotics. As well as generating
ideas for robot developers and designers, it also critically
discusses existing theories and methods for social robotics
from different perspectives—ethical, design, artistical and
technological—and presents new approaches to meaningful
human-robot interaction design.
Key Features
* Provides insights into current research on robots from
different disciplinary angles with a particular focus on a
value-driven design.
* Includes contributions from designers, psychologists,
engineers, philosophers, artists, and legal scholars,
among others.

DR. JUDITH DÖRRENBÄCHER (ED.) is a Design Researcher at
the Chair of Ubiquitous Design/Experience and Interaction
at the University of Siegen. Educated in design, her current
focus is on performative methods in design, theories about
human
animism transferred to -computer interaction (HCI)
and design (techno-animism), and the interactions and
robots
design strategies of social .
RONDA RINGFORT-FELNER (ED.) is a Research Assistant at the
Chair for Ubiquitous Design/Experience and Interaction at
the University of Siegen. With a background in design and
HCI, her research focuses on design fiction, the design and
exploration of future intelligent autonomous systems (such
as social robots), and the exploration of related societal and
social implications.
ROBIN NEUHAUS (ED.) is a Research Assistant at the Chair
for Ubiquitous Design/Experience and Interaction at the
University of Siegen. With a background in industrial design
and HCI, his current research focuses on the design of ex-
periences and interactions with robots, voice assistants, and
other non-human actors.
DR. MARC HASSENZAHL (ED.) is Pro fessor of Ubiquitous
Design/Experience and Interaction at the University of Siegen.
He combines his training in psychology with a love for interac-
tion design. With his group of designers and psychologists,
he explores the theory and practice of designing pleasurable,
meaningful, and transformational interactive technologies.
