The robot population is rising on Earth and other planets. (Mars is inhabited entirely by robots.) As robots slip into more domains of human life--from the operating room to the bedroom--they take on our morally important tasks and decisions, as well as create new risks from psychological to physical. This makes it all the more urgent to study their ethical, legal, and policy impacts.

To help the robotics industry and broader society, we need to not only press ahead on a wide range of issues, but also identify new ones emerging as quickly as the field is evolving. For instance, where military robots had received much attention in the past (and are still controversial today), this volume looks toward autonomous cars here as an important case study that cuts across diverse issues, from liability to psychology to trust and more. And because robotics feeds into and is fed by AI, the Internet of Things, and other cognate fields, robot ethics must also reach into those domains, too.

Expanding these discussions also means listening to new voices; robot ethics is no longer the concern of a handful of scholars. Experts from different academic disciplines and geographical areas are now playing vital roles in shaping ethical, legal, and policy discussions worldwide. So, for a more complete study, the editors of this volume look beyond the usual suspects for the latest thinking. Many of the views as represented in this cutting-edge volume are provocative--but also what we need to push forward in unfamiliar territory.

Industry Reviews

"Robot Ethics 2.0 is worth your attention even if you are not a professional in the field...a decent amount of articles are well-written and will definitely enrich the research on robot ethics." -- Agn:e Alijauskait:e, Erkenntnis "They have done an admirable job of organ-izing the material on a wide range of topics, and 2.0 provides a useful addition to 1.0 for exploring the new debates in this field." -- Derek Leben, Metascience "The philosophy of technology, particularly its ethics, carries a heavy burden right now. This book is an excellent guide to the reasons why that burden is so pressing, and... offers a really strong roadmap of where we are, and where we ought to go." -- Robin L. Zebrowski, Departments of Philosophy, Psychology and Computer Science, Beloit College, Prometheus
