摘要

虽然性爱机器人的设计仍处于早期阶段,但性爱机器人可能扩散到我们生活中的社会影响已经在各个学科的活动家和学者中引起了激烈的争论。在目前关于性爱机器人及其对人类社会关系的潜在影响的辩论中,缺少的是对人类典型特征的局限性和身体表现力的有针对性的观察,人类化身的这些维度在实现人类相互互动方面所起的作用,以及这与性爱机器人-人类互动的对比方式。通过对这些主题的细粒度讨论,根植于富有成果但很大程度上尚未开发的动态具身认知领域的资源,我们探索了性爱机器人的独特体现。我们认为,性爱机器人的化身是由我们所说的有限的表现力和缺乏身体局限性构成的,这是负面的,但也有潜在的积极影响。我们讨论了这两个维度的体现可能对特定人群的好处,即自闭症谱系的一些人。我们的初步结论是,性爱机器人的优点和缺点在于机器人的能力相同,即我们所说的有限的表现力和缺乏身体限制,这要求我们对性爱机器人身体设计的未来发展进行评估。鉴于关于性爱机器人的循证研究的重要性,正如《自然》杂志(2017)在绘制相关性和提出主张方面所强调的那样,该分析旨在为未来的研究奠定基础。

A Semblance of Aliveness
While the design of sex robots is still in the early stages, the social implications of the potential proliferation of sex robots into our lives has been heavily debated by activists and scholars from various disciplines. What is missing in the current debate on sex robots and their potential impact on human social relations is a targeted look at the boundedness and bodily expressivity typically characteristic of humans, the role that these dimensions of human embodiment play in enabling reciprocal human interactions, and the manner in which this contrasts with sex robot-human interactions. Through a fine-grained discussion of these themes, rooted in fruitful but largely untapped resources from the field of enactive embodied cognition, we explore the unique embodiment of sex robots. We argue that the embodiment of the sex robot is constituted by what we term restricted expressivity and a lack of bodily boundedness and that this is the locus of negative but also potentially positive implications. We discuss the possible benefits that these two dimensions of embodiment may have for people within a specific demographic, namely some persons on the autism spectrum. Our preliminary conclusion—that the benefits and the downsides of sex robots reside in the same capability of the robot, its restricted expressivity and lack of bodily boundedness as we call it—demands we take stock of future developments in the design of sex robot embodiment. Given the importance of evidence-based research pertaining to sex robots in particular, as reinforced by Nature (2017) for drawing correlations and making claims, the analysis is intended to set the stage for future research.
