Abstract
Why do roboticists not content themselves with constructing useful machines, rather than also trying to endow them with
anthropomorphic forms, even at the risk of compromising their functionality? What drives them to cover their machines with a
latex coating to simulate human skin? The utopia of the creation of a double appears also in the world of art, the history of which
shows, above all, an outcome that coincides with the abandonment of the naturalistic imperative, and the inauguration of various
periods of exploration and innovation. That is why a possible Roboaesthetics – i.e., robotics and aesthetics combined – could give
rise to a new scenario which, acknowledging the radical novelty of the species introduced, would induce the adoption of a new
observation level, constructed on the basis of a common project.
