This document discusses the possibility of creating a robot society by mimicking human development and teaching robots social skills through language. It compares different frameworks for cognitive development, including Piaget's focus on individual development vs Vygotsky's emphasis on social and cultural influences. The document suggests using Vygotsky's framework to teach robots a proto-language through social interaction and imitation, and to study how their language and interaction with humans change over time. Broader implications are discussed around the relationships between culture, language, history and the creation of society.
