Artificial companion and acceptability a problem of design?

We are in front of an evolution from traditional human-computer interactions to a kind of intense exchange between the human user and new generation of artificial systems. These systems can be virtual, Embodied Conversational Agents (ECAs), or real systems robots. We call these systems “artificial companions” that is to say systems with which the user wants to build a kind of life-long relationship.
