There is a great deal of current research centred upon the creation of artificial systems which might be considered, by humans, to be social entities, agents or actors. In particular, the development of social robots is a highly active field which is being driven by the widespread belief that we will, within a matter of a few years, be expected to engage in social interactions with embodied robotic systems in everyday environments.
