Ethics of healthcare robotics: Towards responsible research and innovation

Bernd Carsten Stahl, Mark Coeckelbergh · 2016 · Robotics and Autonomous Systems

Summary. This paper argues that addressing ethical issues in healthcare robotics requires more than traditional ethics analysis. The authors propose embedded ethical reflection directly within innovation practices and development contexts. They identify internal and external forms of dialogue between ethicists and technologists, discuss limitations of these approaches, and recommend policy support at national and supranational levels to integrate responsible innovation into healthcare robotics research.
