DESCRIPTION:This talks aims to shed a light on informal caregivers to the 
 field of Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) and beyond. The current narrative i
 s that AI-driven technologies will be the saviour of care. However\,  ther
 e is important pocket of caregiving – informal caregivers— that has be
 en overlooked\, even if that group is expected to help ensure the successf
 ul deployment of care robots. Put differently\, informal caregivers\, usua
 lly friends and relatives providing unpaid care work\, are likely to remai
 n essential to caregiving and robots will not be the saviour of care alone
 . Through a critical HRI lens informed by sociology of law and STS\, this 
 talk will explore the role of informal caregivers and roboticists themselv
 es for HRI and health care. I will present two empirical studies as well a
 s theoretical papers to reflect on how it is possible to challenge and ref
 rame robots for care.\n\n\nBio: Laetitia Tanqueray is a PhD Candidate at t
 he Department of Technology and Society\, at Lund University\, Sweden. Lae
 titia holds law degrees in English\, Welsh and French Law (LLB and Master 
 1 respectively) and a Master's (MSc) in Sociology of Law. She investigates
  human-robot interactions (HRI) from a socio-legal STS lens in the context
  of health care. Her published work has mostly focused on informing HRI de
 sign\, including in collaboration with HRI experts in the context of perip
 artum depression and informal caregivers.
