Abstract
This entry addresses the figure of the robot as it appears across communication theory and robotics: as a set of fictional characters in science fiction, cinema, and literature; as the basis for a number of thought experiments over the nature of consciousness, humanity and its limits, and the future; and as one in a set of actual technological developments with an impact on communication, popular culture, and everyday life.
