Robot and gender: are they masculine or feminine?

Piaggio Foundation – thanks to the evocative spaces of its Museum – is a place of cultural promotion and aimst to boost synergies among companies, culture and territory. The title of the meeting, conceived as a literary cafè, has been intentionally formulated so as to catch the curiosity of lay persons, even though the topic is the subject of scientific discussion. The conversation will focus on humanoid robots, the relationship between appearance-sex-gender, gender concepts, the role of the language in relation to sex and gender, etc
