This short commentary calls for further geographic engagement with emerging trends in social robotics and human-robot interaction. While the proliferation of social robots in the spaces of everyday life raises numerous empirical, ethical, and political questions, this paper argues that it also presents an opportunity to prompt theoretical debate around questions of space, intelligence, affect and emotion, and the ‘human.’
