“…Hence, sexbots could be customised to be vulnerable to human mistreatment (Mackenzie, 2014). This paper on sexbots falls within the roboethics strand of technoethics inquiring into artificial moral agents (DeBaets, 2014;Pana, 2012;Sullins, 2009;Wareham, 2013), robotic moral personhood and rights (Allen & Wallach, 2014;Coeckelbergh 2010;Gerdes, 2015;Yampolskiy, 2012), whether specific ethical theories or critical ethical faculties should be operationalized in robots (Abney, 2014;Bringsjord, 2017;Bringsjord & Taylor, 2014;Hughes, 2014;Majot & Yampolskiy, 2014), ethical design (Stahl et al, 2014;Van Wynsberghe 2016, and the optimal roles of specific social robots like carebots (Coeckelbergh, 2012;Stahl & Coeckelbergh, 2016;Van Wysberghe 2013. Social robots are machines placed in situations requiring ethical decisions from robots, designers and users, raising crucial technoethical issues over how to ensure mutually beneficial AI.…”

“…Rather than continuing to serve humans, they may choose to rebel, banding together with others of their kind to threaten humanity's dominance. Humans' need to control their artificially intelligent creations is a continuing preoccupation within TR, leading some to propose engineered safety features like fixed obedience to laws safeguarding humans or in-built moral decision-making powers, (Bringsjord, 2017;Yampolskiy, 2012). In this protective perspective, humans are positioned as Creators/Masters and created entities as Slaves, locked into problematic power relations.…”

This article describes how sexbots: sentient, self-aware, feeling artificial moral agents created soon as customised potential sexual/intimate partners provoke crucial questions for technoethics. Coeckelbergh's model of human/robotic relations as co-evolving to their mutual benefit through mutual vulnerability is applied to sexbots. As sexbots have a sustainable claim to moral standing, benefits and vulnerabilities inherent in human/sexbots relations must be identified and addressed for both parties. Humans' and sexbots' vulnerabilities are explored, drawing on the philosophy and social science of dehumanisation and inclusion/exclusion. This article argues humans as creators owe a duty of care to sentient beings they create. Responsible innovation practices involving stakeholders debating ethicolegal conundrums pertaining to human duties to sexbots, and sexbots' putative interests, rights and responsibilities are essential. These validate the legal recognition of sexbots, the protection of their interests through regulatory oversight and ethical limitations on customisation which must be put in place.

In recent decades, the usages of robots in variety of industries have been increased. Self-directed robots have appeared in human lives, specifically, in the areas related to the lives of elderly. The population of old people is significantly growing worldwide. Therefore, there the demand for personal care robots is increasing. The aim of this demand is to enhance the opportunity of mobility and promote independence. In the future, robots care will be in very near contact with people lives. But, what caring roles will robots have at home in the future before old persons? It depends not only on the kinds of robots but also those facets of ageing which are discussed in the paper. This article probes the part and function of robots care in the lifecycle of older adults. It contemplates on the advantages and disadvantages of robots application in human life.

“…Robotics has led to significant improvements in human life and industry. Nowadays, robots are very popular in a number of fields such as caring ate home (Bilal Kartal et al, 2016;Portugal et al, 2015), accompanying guests in multi-level buildings (Veloso et al, 2012), manufacturing, medical (Feng et al, 2012;Garcia-Aracil et al, 2014), household (Matthias, 2015), military services (Hallevy, 2013), game (Pearson & Borenstein, 2013) and entertainment (Yampolskiy, 2013). In the following years, human beings and care robots will be closely connected Is there any reason to feel anxious from the reliance on robots for child care?…”

In the last decades, the application of robots in variety of industries has remarkably been increased. Self-governing robots have been employed in various fields of human life, particularly in that of old and very young people. It is assumed that in the succeeding years, personal care robots will be in an intimate relation with human beings. But, what caring responsibilities will the future robots have before children at home? This is directly related to the kinds of robots as well as those aspects of getting old that are the matter of question. Among the topics that are germane to robot carers, Child-care is the least discussed one. In this article the duties of care robots in the life of youth is investigated. It studies the benefits of the application of robots in daily life along with the negative points, perils, and anxieties that rise from the application. In this article, we examine the benefits of the usage of robots in the child life. Besides, we will discuss the disadvantages, dangers and fears that are related to child-robot connections. In the end, we will recommend some useful points.
