Abstract
This paper presents an argument for including concepts from the social sciences and the arts in the design of robots for intimate social environments. An example of a robot designed as an interactive dining table situated in a restaurant is described and certain aspects of the particular design approach are explained. It is shown how this can help think about ways to integrate robots into cultural spaces.
