Abstract

Religion and science are typically seen as far apart worlds. As a matter of fact, this is not true, as religion also has evolved thanks to new technologies, and robots in particular are objects that have been related to the sacred since ancient times. Recently, new interest is growing worldwide on this topic: However, even new creation of robots for the religious domain have to face the attitude of users of different cultures, which trace back to the mindset present in the background religions, and their concept of human.
