Abstract :
In this study we have explored the concept of ``Cultural Robotics" for the evolution of social to cultural Robots for contemporary society. By defining the concept of culture in computing, the potential creation of a culture between humans and robots is explored. Based on the cultural values of the robots creators and learning ability of the robots, cultural attributes in this regard are in the process of being formed which would define the new concept of cultural robotics. Considering the embodiment of the robots, influence of robots in communication culture is expected. Our investigation anticipates creation of different attributes of the culture between robots and humans in the near future.
