Summary:The concept of interaction is key in the contemporary development of social robotics. We do discuss, however, the convenience of a definition that prioritizes the robot’s programming successes and threatens to undermine its integration as an elemental dimension of human nature. Based on a definition from analytical philosophy, in which the definitely human horizon of the concept of interaction is not devalued, we carry out a «search in the field of robotic art» as a harmless territory for experimentation in which aesthetic regulations are applied. independently, therefore, of other interests related to utility or industrial application. Special attention is paid to those cases oriented to machine / human interaction, and we finally apply a hierarchy of levels of interaction, which is followed by a series of provisional conclusions.
