Abstract
As robots are going to spread in human society, the study of their appearance becomes a critical matter when assessing robots performance and appropriateness for an application and for the employment in different countries, with different background cultures. Religion has been throughout history one of the main factors characterizing cultures, and there is a long history of intertwinements with automation. With the emerging robotic platforms and applications that involve religion, it is the right timing to face this potentially controversial topic. The objective of this workshop is to establish religion as a sub-field of Culturally-aware Robotics, by defining its theoretical background and its most relevant goals in today’s world.
