Resumen
[EN] This article examines the question of whether currently existing robots can die. To do so, it will first analyse what is meant by agent, biomimicry and what is commonly understood by dying and being alive. Biomimetic imitations of robots can give rise to attachment relationships between their users and the robots, and also to feelings of grief at their loss. This confusion can lead to emotional reaction on the part of the users of these devices to the extent that they consider that, in mourning their loss, this mourning is due to the fact that the robot has actually died.
