- Abstract
Using the example of the animated series “Love, Death and Robots”, the article considers the image of a robot as a reflection not only of a person’s achievements and fears, but also of his desire to understand his place in the world. The study suggests that the image of a robot is not only a threat, but also an opportunity for deep self-reflection and rethinking of human existence, which makes the topic especially relevant in the context of the growing technologization of life. With such a rapid development of technology and artificial intelligence, robot images in art represent complex metaphors that explore topical issues of identity, morality, and human nature. Human interaction with robots opens up new horizons for self-discovery and self-identification, emphasizing the importance of realizing one’s place in the world. The series “Love, Death and Robots” illustrates how the artistic image of a robot can serve as a mirror reflecting the internal conflicts and aspirations of humanity. He raises questions about the boundaries of technology and its impact on individuals and society. In this context, the image of a robot becomes a symbol not only of threat, but also of an opportunity for self-reflection, allowing viewers to reflect on their emotions, relationships, and moral choices. Thus, the study of the image of a robot in popular culture emphasizes the need for further analysis of its role in shaping human identity and understanding of being
