520    We know that robots are just machines. Why then do we 
       often talk about them as if they were alive? Laura Voss 
       explores this fascinating phenomenon, providing a rich 
       insight into practices of animacy (and inanimacy) 
       attribution to robot technology: from science-fiction to 
       robotics R & D, from science communication to media 
       discourse, and from the theoretical perspectives of STS to
       the cognitive sciences. Taking an interdisciplinary 
       perspective, and backed by a wealth of empirical material,
       Voss shows how scientists, engineers, journalists - and 
       everyone else - can face the challenge of robot technology
       appearing "a little bit alive" with a reflexive and yet 
       pragmatic stance
