Abstract
The authors at times propose that robots mere depictions of social agents (a philosophical claim) and at other times that social robots as depictions (an empirical psychological claim). We evaluate each claim's accuracy both now and in the future and, in doing so, we introduce two dangerous misperceptions people have, or will have, about social robots.
