Can robots lie? A posthumanist approach to robotic animals and deceptive practices in dementia care.

Institution of Behavioral Sciences and Learning, Department of Education and Sociology, Linköping University, Sweden. Electronic address:
Robotic animals are designed to resemble real, living animals, but at the same time, dementia care guidelines and policies often emphasize the value of transparency in relation to robots-people should not be led to believe that robots have capacities that they in fact lack. However, it is not obvious how to separate truth from lies in everyday care practice. Based on participant observations and interviews with certified assistant nurses and nursing assistants in Swedish nursing homes for people with dementia, this article studies how robotic animals become "real" in care practice.
