Robotics is not one of the classic new and emerging science and technology (NEST) developments. It is rather part of a longstanding development that usually has very clear areas of application: industrial robotics, service robotics, drones, self‐driving automobiles, messenger robots and care robots. Their rapid development in the last 10 years has, however, motivated numerous questions about the meaning of robotics for the future relationships between humans and technology. In this chapter, the question whether planning competence can and should be attributed to robots, as is common parlance in robotics serves as an illustrative example. In the focus are autonomous robots which, for example, have to find their way through unknown surroundings and are not operated by remote control. Aspects of planning have played a central role in the theory of artificial intelligence (AI) and of the realization of autonomous artifacts for decades now.
