Many robots are designed to take on social roles in schools, health care settings, and homes. But along with their increasing interactions with humans comes a growing problem: robot abuse. Although some high-profile incidents of robot abuse—such as the destruction of Hitchbot, the hitchhiker robot that traversed Canada without incident, yet met its demise in Philadelphia—have been attributed to adults, children also have a tendency to abuse robots. Abusing a robot may work against a child’s moral development by cultivating negative behaviors rather than virtues, so researchers are exploring not only the reasons behind this behavior but also its prevention.
