What type of robots to devise should not be a specialized debate confined to scientific grounds, but one that should concern everyone. It is crucial that society at large gets enough information and motivation to form an opinion concerning service/social robots. In this slippery terrain, science fiction may help clarify the role that the human being and the machine have to play in this "pas a deux" in which we are irremissibly engaged. ; Peer reviewed
