abstract = {In this article, we explore how pet robots come into being
in a Danish nursing home for people with dementia, based on
five months of ethnographic fieldwork. We argue that the
researcher and the robot become an assembled temporary
figure in the nursing home: the woman with the dog. We show
how pet robots are characterized by their fluidity and can
go from being mechanical robots to living animals in a
matter of seconds during interactions with nursing home
residents. The social robots are fragile technologies that
disappear and cease to be used if people in the nursing home
stop caring for them. Through relationships, the pet robots
come into being together with other actors in the nursing
home – a process that requires tinkering (Mol, Moser, and
Pols 2010) and flexibility from those working with the
robots. We argue that the woman with the dog can develop
caring relations with the residents, but although there are
hopes that pet robots are one of the technologies that can
save a welfare state and care system under pressure, this is
not something that can be done by the pet robots alone.
Rather, the robots need care and tinkering to become
embedded in the nursing home. © 2024, University Library
